Description
Argyranthemum Qinta White is a charming variety of marguerite or Canary chamomile with flowers that have a pretty fringed heart tinted with yellow. This plant forms a small, wide, and slightly loose bush that blooms profusely from late spring to early autumn. A perennial but frost-sensitive plant, it is used for pots on terraces and balconies, as well as in seasonal flower beds. Its cut flowers can also be used to create country-style bouquets.
Argyranthemum (synonyms Anthemis frutescens, Chrysanthemum frutescens) belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is a native species of the Canary Islands that perishes below -3°C (26.6°F) but withstands drought well when planted in the ground. 'Qinta White', sometimes marketed under the name Argyranthemum frutescens 'Sark', is a horticultural selection derived from this plant. This evergreen shrubby perennial forms a generally rounded clump, wider than it is tall, 70 cm (28in) high and 80-90 cm (32-35in) wide. Its flexible and branched stems bear finely cut, light green-grey leaves, theoretically persistent in winter. Flowering can begin as early as May, depending on the growing conditions. It constantly renews itself until the first frost if the soil remains moist. If it gets too hot and dry in July-August, it withers and only resumes growth when the rains return. The flowers of Qinta White resemble white, 4-5 cm (2in) daisies, with pure white ligulate florets surrounding a fringed light yellow centre.
The simple daisies of Argyranthemum Qinta White bloom for a long period. With its decorative qualities and generosity, it is an ideal plant to use with more traditional biennials such as wallflowers or nemesias. It is perfect in pots and planters for terraces, balconies and window sills. It can also be planted alongside romantic roses and peonies, which it will also accompany in lovely bouquets. Anthemis can be kept from one year to the next by overwintering like florist geraniums.

Planting and care
You can plant the Canary Daisy Qinta White in the ground after the last frosts, in any well-drained soil, even poor and limestone or sandy soil. Once well-rooted, this plant withstands drought well in summer but its flowering will decline if it is too hot and dry. It perishes below -3°C (26.6°F) even in a sheltered position. Choose a sunny or partially shaded location during the hottest hours as the Canary Daisy doesn't like excessive summer heat. It particularly enjoys being by the seaside.
Pot cultivation: very similar to that of ivy geranium or florist's geranium. Place in a large pot with a minimum diameter of 30 cm (12in), in a mixture of potting compost, garden soil, and coarse sand. Water regularly but sparingly and apply flowering plant fertiliser every 15 days. You can overwinter your potted plant in a bright, unheated room, kept frost-free.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
