Everest™ Argyranthemum frutescens

Everest™ is a compact, mounded marguerite daisy with finely divided grey-green foliage and single white flowers centered in yellow. It is suited to sunny borders and patio containers, where its long flowering season brings dependable seasonal color. ## Growth and flowering The [RHS profile for Everest](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/503952/argyranthemum-frutescens-everest/details) describes an evergreen, frost-tender subshrub often grown as an annual, about 50 cm tall, with flowers from early summer until the first frosts. It recommends full sun and moist but well-drained or well-drained soil. [Danziger](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/everest/) lists Everest™ in its Argyranthemum collection, while [Ball Australia](https://ballaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Argyranthemum-Collection-2024.pdf) reports 40–50 cm height and 50–60 cm width for the Everest selection and flowering through spring into summer. ## Siting Provide sun and good drainage; in containers, avoid letting the root ball dry completely during active growth. In cold climates, use it as seasonal bedding or protect it from frost. Dimensions and bloom timing can vary with climate and growing 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.
