Angelic™ Ruby Argyranthemum frutescens

Angelic™ Ruby is a compact, mounded marguerite daisy with burgundy-red flowers and yellow centers. Its early flowering and rounded form make it useful in sunny pots and the front of a border. ## Growth and flowering [Danziger’s Angelic Ruby page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/angelic-ruby/) confirms the cultivar’s place in the Angelic collection and describes an early flowering time, mounded habit and medium growth intensity. [Ball Australia’s cultivar collection](https://ballaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Argyranthemum-Collection-2024.pdf) reports a compact 25–30 cm height and 35–40 cm width, with flowering through spring into summer. A nursery’s exact-cultivar listing describes burgundy daisy-like flowers with yellow centers and approximately 12 inches by 16 inches, consistent with that compact range. ## Siting Grow in full sun in a free-draining bed or container. Marguerite daisies are frost tender; in colder climates they are commonly used as seasonal color. Keep newly planted specimens watered while they establish, then adjust irrigation to weather and container conditions. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers when a tidy display or continued flowering is desired; pinch young growth to encourage branching. Water during prolonged dry spells, and protect this frost-tender plant where winters are cold.
