distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of 23 species of procumbent or spreading to erect, evergreen subshrubs (sometimes offered as chrysanthemums) from the Canary Islands and Madeira. They occur in a wide range of habitats, from coastal beaches to light woodland and volcanic mountains, 2,300m (6,900ft) high. The opposite or alternate leaves are entire to finely dissected or coarsely lobed, usually 5-10cm (2-4in) long, and vary from green to intensely glaucous. Loose corymbs of daisy-like, single, sometimes anemone-centred or double flowerheads, in white, rose-pink, yellow, or apricot, are freely borne from late spring to early autumn. In frost-free areas, they are excellent for bedding or borders, as they may flower almost continuously. In frost-prone climates, grow as summer bedding or in containers.

hardiness_en: Frost hardy (in well-drained soil) to half hardy.

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Root greenwood cuttings in spring, or semi-ripe cuttings of non-flowering shoots, 5-10cm (2-4in) long, in summer. Overwinter young plants in a cool greenhouse.

pests_en: Coarse-leaved argyranthemums are prone to crown gall and chrysanthemum leaf miner.
