About
Argyranthemum Molimba M Yellow ('Argyminyel') is a compact, evergreen sub-shrub that typically reaches a height of around 30 cm. Though it is often cultivated as an annual, it offers a dense mound of finely cut, mid-green foliage. From late spring through to the onset of frost, it produces single yellow daisy-like blooms measuring approximately 2.5 cm in diameter.
