Argyranthemum Grandaisy Collection Of Six Plug Plants - You Garden

After hardening off, they can be planted out into their final positions from late spring onwards, once all danger of frost has passed.

With regular deadheading and care, the Argyranthemum Grandaisy Collection will bloom prolifically from summer right through to autumn.

While some Argyranthemums can be perennial in milder climates, they are generally treated as annuals or half-hardy perennials in the UK, often needing overwintering protection.

These plants are best suited for outdoor growing in pots and borders. They require full sun and good air circulation, which is difficult to replicate indoors.

A plug plant is a young plant grown in a small, compressed block of compost. They are typically smaller than pot-grown plants but establish quickly when planted.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks throughout the active growing and flowering season (spring to autumn).

Argyranthemums are generally not a primary target for slugs and snails, but young, tender growth can sometimes be affected. Monitor your plants and take appropriate action if pests are present.

Gently rehydrate the plugs by soaking them in a shallow tray of water for about 30 minutes. Ensure they are potted up into moist compost immediately afterwards and kept in a shaded, cool spot for a day before moving to a brighter location.

This can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and allow it to dry slightly if waterlogged. If the soil is adequately drained, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) and have been fed regularly. Lack of deadheading can also reduce flowering.

This usually means they are not getting enough light or have been kept too warm indoors. Once hardened off, planting them in a sunny outdoor spot will help them grow stronger. Pinching out the growing tips encourages bushier growth.
