  • Buttery-Yellow Blooms
  • Dark Green Leaves
  • Perennial Zones 9-11
  • Versatile Plant Works Well Everywhere!

The Daisy Butterfly, 'Argyranthemum frutescens', is a fantastic release from Proven Winners. The Daisy 'Butterfly' is a heat-tolerant Marguerite Daisy with 'Oomph!'.

'Butterfly' produces canary-yellow flowers throughout the summer ­ even without deadheading. Though deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional bloom.

The deeply cut, dark green leaves are aromatic when bruised. 'Butterfly' requires a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil and should be kept well watered in the summer.

Daisy's may be used as a cut flower and they are excellent in window boxes, pots, and rock gardens, and of course butterfly gardens, perennial borders, and of course, butterfly and pollinator gardens! 'Butterfly' is attractive to bees, butterflies, and/or birds, plus they are resistant to deer.

These warm-weather Daisy's are fairly and they are grown as an annual in other cooler climatic zones. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Butterfly Daisy grow as a perennial or annual in my zone?
  • Butterfly Daisy grows as a perennial in zones 9-11 and as an annual in cooler zones. This heat-tolerant Marguerite daisy thrives in warm climates where it can overwinter successfully. Check your USDA hardiness zone to determine if it will return next year in your garden.

How much sun or shade does Butterfly Daisy need daily?
  • Butterfly Daisy requires full sun for optimal blooming and heat tolerance. This sunny perennial thrives in bright, direct sunlight throughout the day to produce its continuous canary-yellow flowers. Plant in the sunniest spot in your garden for best results, available at naturehills.com.

When is the best time to plant Butterfly Daisy?
  • Plant Butterfly Daisy after the last frost when soil has warmed in spring. In zones 9-11 where it's perennial, you can also plant in early fall. Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil and keep consistently watered through summer.

How is Butterfly Daisy shipped—bare root, potted, or dormant?
  • Butterfly Daisy ships as a potted plant, ready to transplant into your garden or containers. These heat-loving perennials (zones 9-11) or warm-season annuals arrive with established root systems. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil after your last frost date.

What is the expected bloom time and duration for Butterfly Daisy?
  • Butterfly Daisy blooms continuously throughout summer with bright canary-yellow flowers, even without deadheading. In zones 9-11 it performs as a perennial, while cooler zones grow it as an annual. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage even more flowering through the season.

How do I prune or deadhead Butterfly Daisy to encourage more blooms?
  • Butterfly Daisy blooms continuously all summer without deadheading, but removing spent flowers encourages even more blooms. Simply pinch or cut off faded yellow flowers at the stem. Deadhead regularly throughout the growing season for maximum flower production.

What common pests or diseases affect Butterfly Daisy, and how to treat them?
  • Butterfly Daisy is naturally resistant to deer and relatively pest-free, though aphids and spider mites can occasionally appear in hot, dry conditions. Watch for yellowing leaves or webbing as early signs. Ensure good air circulation and consistent watering to prevent issues, and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap.
