]]> Margheritina dei Prati is the classic Italian meadow daisy from the award-winning Vintage 1928 range by Franchi Sementi. Simple, familiar, and quietly beautiful, this is the flower most of us remember from childhood gardens and open grassy spaces. Once established in your Irish garden, it returns year after year without any fuss.

A true perennial that spreads gently and becomes part of the landscape rather than a temporary feature. The classic white daisy flowers with golden centres bloom from April right through to September, supporting bees and small pollinators throughout the season. Naturally low growing at just 10 to 15 cm, it never overwhelms other plants.

ðŸŒą Sowing: March to June

☀ïļ Light: Full sun to partial shade

ðŸŒĄïļ Germination: 10 to 20 days

📏 Height: 10 to 15 cm

ðŸŒļ Flowering: April to September (once established)

ðŸŒŋ Growing tips for Ireland Sow direct outdoors from March to June, scattering seed onto well-prepared soil and pressing gently without covering. Margheritina needs light to germinate. Keep soil moist until seedlings appear.

This is one of the most forgiving flowers for Irish conditions. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and tolerates most soil types including the heavier, wetter soils common across Ireland. Perfect for naturalising in lawns, informal borders, wildflower patches and meadow-style planting. Once established, it self sows and returns reliably with zero maintenance.

🏚 Part of the Vintage 1928 Range This variety comes from the iconic Vintage 1928 collection, inspired by the historic Franchi Sementi catalogue. Winner of Best Retail Product 2025 and named Hortweek Top Horti Trends No.2.
