  • Notes

SIngle white flowers with yellow centers and silvery foliage highlight the 'Silver Leaf' variety. It exhibits dense, compact growth to 4' tall by 6' wide. This plant is considerably tougher and more drought tolerant than green-leaved marguerite varieties.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
