Anthemis Grandaisy Pink Tourmaline - Marguerite

The Anthemis or Argyranthemum Grandaisy 'Pink Tourmaline' is a brand new hybrid variety of anthemis, which stands out for its good resistance to diseases, cold and wet weather, and heat, allowing it to acclimate in most of our regions where it will bloom for 5-6 months, until the first frosts. Its flowers are similar to frosted daisies of mauve and pink, with an almost black centre surrounded by a white ring. They bloom tirelessly on a small ramified bush. Easy to grow, it is an ideal variety for large flowering pots, but also for rock gardens or borders.

The Argyranthemum Grandaisy Pink Tourmaline is a recent horticultural hybrid belonging to the Asteraceae family. The Grandaisy ® series, developed in the Netherlands, is characterized by large inflorescences and undeniable ease of cultivation. It brings together perennials that are not very hardy, commonly grown as annuals. They are beautiful ornamentals with a long flowering period that require little maintenance. The 'Pink Tourmaline' selection will reach 45 to 55 cm (21.7 in) in all directions. It has rapid growth. The flowering, very abundant, is renewed from May-June to October, even more generously if you regularly remove faded flowers. The flowers resemble daisies, 6 cm wide, with gemstone-like colours. The stems are highly branched, with bipennatilobed leaves, forming a very abundant decorative foliage, green-blue, aromatic when crumpled and very light in appearance. It is evergreen in winter if the plant is kept frost-free.

Devoted sun lovers, anthemis dislike excessive humidity in winter more than anything else. In regions spared from frost, plant them in ordinary, well-drained soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or strongly calcareous. Forming beautiful rounded and fully flowering clumps in a very short time, the 'Pink Tourmaline' Chrysanthemum is superb in the company of fennels, perennial flax, borage, cosmos, or blue and white nigellas. It can be very useful for starting a brand new garden, after the passage of construction machinery. It can be planted in country-style beds with Asphodeline lutea, Asclepias tuberosa, but also in more well-kept flower beds, rock gardens, stair borders, or at the turn of a path in a steep garden. And of course, it offers a fantastic spectacle in flowering pots, accompanied by Dichondra 'Silver Falls', silver baskets, Begonia sempervirens, Ageratums or dwarf snapdragons, on the terrace or balcony.

Note: Please note that our young plants in mini-pots are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.
