How to Grow and Care for Cape marguerite

Cape marguerite, also known as Blue and white daisybush, Star of the veldt, Sundays river daisy, African daisy

Watering should be moderate, allowing the soil to dry out between watering, but avoid over-watering as cape marguerite is drought-tolerant. Fertilize sparingly to promote healthy growth.
