At last, marguerites are getting their moment in the sun

There's one group of plants which I have been noticing more than normal in gardens recently. They provide masses of colour and it is over the next few weeks that they need our attention.

Frost-tender perennials such as argyranthemums or, more commonly referred to as marguerites, are still providing beautiful flower colour as the season for such plants draws to a close. July and August is really their time to shine but with the poor weather we experienced during those months this year, they never really got their moment in the sun, so to speak, and they have done their best to make up for it throughout September.
