Common names for the anthemis tinctoria are G olden Marguerite, Ox-eye Chamomile, Boston Daisy, and Paris Daisy.Īll of these varieties of marguerites are members of the Asteraceae (ass-ter-AY-see-ay) family, which includes asters, daisies, and sunflowers. The word tinctoria indicates a plant used in dyeing or has a sap which can stain. The word anthemus comes from the Greek word anthemon, “flower,” and means profusely blooming. It has small yellow to almost white flowers. Pull it up, pot it, and prune it back and let it grow as a flowering topiary.Īnother genus/species referred to as a marguerite is the anthemus tinctoria. This particular marguerite makes a great topiary after a couple of seasons in the ground.

The word argyranthemum means “silvery flowers” and the species name of frutescens (froo-TESS-enz) means becoming “shrubby.” Members of this genus are sometimes also placed in the genus Chrysanthemum ,which originated in China and Japan. In the same genus but a different species is the leucanthemum paludosum- called the mini marguerite because of its tiny flowers. Other names for this marguerite are Oxeye Daisy or Ox-eyed Daisy, Moon Daisy, Dog Daisy and White Daisy. This genus originated in Europe, North Africa, and the temperate parts of Asia. The herbaceous, fast-growing stem is mostly unbranched and sprouts laterally from a creeping rootstock.

The word leucanthemum originates from the Greek words leukos, 'white,' and anthemon, 'flower,' and the species name of vulgare means “common.” They were split from the genus Chrysanthemum, because they are not aromatic and their leaves lack grayish-white hairs. The two genus that produce white flowers with yellow centers are leucanthemum ( lew-KAN-the-mum) and argyranthemum ( ar-ji-RAN-the-mum). In English, the name marguerite refers to several genus and species of daisies. The daisy is believed to have been in existence for over 4000 years and worldwide there are about 200 species of daisies. Over 200 English Roses have been released since 1961, many of them receiving the highest rewards.Marguerite, the French word for “daisy,” is derived from the Greek word, margarite, which means “pearl.” The word “daisy” comes from Old English daeges eage, meaning “day's eye.” Our word, “day,” comes from the word “dawn.” The term “day's eye” refers to the way the flower opens its petals in the morning and closes them at night.
