Kelwayi Marguerite Daisy (Anthemis tinctoria ‘Kelwayi’)

Kelwayi Marguerite Daisy (Anthemis tinctoria ‘Kelwayi’) is a hardy, long-blooming perennial known for its cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers and finely textured, aromatic foliage. This variety produces masses of bright blooms with golden centres from early to mid-summer, adding vibrant colour to sunny garden spaces.

Kelwayi forms a bushy, upright clump with soft, fern-like grey-green leaves that provide texture even when not in bloom. It is well-suited to borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings, where it attracts bees and beneficial insects.

Adapted to a wide range of conditions, Anthemis tinctoria performs reliably in Alberta when planted in full sun and well-drained soil. It is especially valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in hot, exposed locations once established.
