Argyranthemum frutescens, known as Paris daisy,[2] marguerite or marguerite daisy, is a perennial plant known for its flowers. It is native to the Canary Islands (part of Spain).[3] Hybrids derived from this species (garden marguerites) are widely cultivated as ornamental plants in private gardens and public parks in many countries, and have naturalized in Italy[4] and southern California.[5] There are many cultivars, but the most common has white petals.[6][failed verification]
