Margerite

Easily grown in a good garden soil in a sunny position. Prefers a rich soil. Plants are hardy to at least -20°c. The whole plant is permeated with an acrid juice, making it obnoxious to insects. The flowers have a smell like stale perspiration. Grows well in the summer meadow but may need some help in maintaining itself. In garden design, as well as the above-ground architecture of a plant, root structure considerations help in choosing plants that work together for their optimal soil requirements including nutrients and water. The root pattern is rhizomatous with underground stems sending roots and shoots along their length [2-1].
