How to care for marguerite Grandaisy Pink Halo ('Bonmax 9163') (PBR) (Grandaisy Series):
Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushiness and apply a deep, dry mulch around the base of the plant in autumn if planted in open ground and protect with cloches or plant protection fleece if hard frost is forecast.
