Maize™ Improved Argyranthemum frutescens

Maize™ Improved is a named Argyranthemum frutescens selection in Danziger’s ANGELIC™ collection. The breeder describes it as faster and earlier flowering than the original Maize, with a medium-sized, mounded habit. Keep the Improved name when sourcing; it identifies a distinct selection. ## Flowers and garden use Danziger’s [Maize Improved product page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/maize-improved/) identifies the selection and describes its medium growth intensity and early flowering. A [nursery profile](https://www.deserthorizonnursery.com/plant/argyranthemum-frutescens-angelic-maize-improved/) describes yellow daisy-like flowers and a mounded form. The listed mature size varies between catalog and regional sources, so allow room for a spreading mound in seasonal beds or containers. ## Growing conditions Choose sun and freely draining soil. The [Royal Horticultural Society species profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/1531/argyranthemum-frutescens/details) recommends sun and well-drained soil and rates the species H2 for UK hardiness. In cold-winter areas, grow Maize™ Improved as seasonal color or protect it from frost. ## Maintenance Water during active growth when rainfall is insufficient, and let excess water drain. Remove faded blooms to keep plants tidy. Check local frost conditions before overwintering outdoors.
