is there a reason ... why it cant go in the ground??? here are your variables: they are full sun plants... window light might not work ... you will spend about $100 on lights and electricity ... terra cotta pots are a nightmare indoors... very hard to deal with.. add $5 to 10 more dollars for a new pot ... potting media is very important indoors.. add 10 to 20 more dollars ... in snow country.. forced air furnaces dont create or allow enough humidity for OUTDOOR plants .... so add another 10 or 15 $$$ for a tray .. some gravel.. to create humidity .. plus other variable .. i think you get the point... when it all boils down.. you are going to spend one to two hundred dollars.. for a plant you can buy next spring. for $3 ... now.. all that said.. GO FOR IT ... i always want to enable some newbie in gardening ... but dont be surprised or POd if you fail ... no one ever learned something new.. w/o trying ... i suggest you visit the container forum for info on growing plants in pots ... especially in regard to terra cotta indoors ... with a furnace ... the pot itself can wick water out of the media ... and though cactus can enjoy such.. on a heavy water plant.. it can be a problem .... balancing it all out ... and then the houseplant forum.. for any wisdom they might offer as to dealing with perennials as houseplants ... and GOOD LUCK!!!! ken ps: presuming apartment.. i would find a friend with a yard.. plant it in the garden in late sept or so ... and go get it back in april ... repot it.. and love it up .... that would be called 'healing it in' for winter .....

Thank you all :)) Stage_rat, mine is just common Anthemis tinctoria. The Anthemis tictoria 'Kelwayi' only grows to 18-20" and has 2" flowers. Mine is WAY taller at about 3' to 3.5' and flowers are only about 1" across...about the size of a quarter :) Bonnie, I do like it with the Feverfew 'Flore Pleno' which grows to a height of about 3' tall by 3' wide when mature (like a big round globe)and helps support the taller Golden Marguerite or other tall ones that can flop out. The Feverfew in this pic is a re-seeder and not at it's full height yet. Where I need it to grow shorter I just prune it back once really good before flowering. This particular one is a hybrid that isn't supposed to produce very many viable seeds (one reason why the blooms last FOREVER), but it does give me a few new plants every season that are always true to the parent every single time. It is nowhere as aggressive as the common species where every seed is viable.... which is the one with daisy-like flowers! I love being able to go out and grab some leaves for a headache, ect... Some people(such as myself) do not get mouth blisters from chewing them whereas some people can. I can harvest a bunch of the dried flowers if you are interested in trying to start some....you are bound to get a few at least. Send me an email sometime this fall at la_raspberry@yahoo.com My gardenweb email is not a working addy, but every time I've tried to update it has always reverted back to the old one. You got a few things I'd love to trade you for LOL!...especially that Penstemon you have with the needle like foliage I believe?....it was evergreen? Whatever it I love it!!

~lurking~ Would this be for seeds or plants? I have terrible luck with bare root plants. I've killed everyone I've ever gotten! I wouldn't have much to trade as far as plants. I just started Gloriosa daisies, Gaillardia, Coreopsis & English Daisies this year. I only have established NOID black-eyed Susans and Purple Coneflowers. I've been working a little more on my perennials this year. I too love daisy type flowers. Don't mind my ramble! Becky

I'm not familiar w/ the Marguerite, but I have a patch of Blackfoot Daisies that comes back every year. And every year is lovelier than the last! It does self-seed, but very slowly so not invasive. I have mine out in the H*** Strip where the concrete all around keeps it nice and toasty. I do water it everyday when it gets REAL hot, but otherwise don't do anything but cut it back a bit in the fall. It is blooming now and will bloom til Fall. I personally love this plant and get lots of compliments on it! I started out with two or three 4" pots and it is now a nice mound of white daisies! I'll post a photo later, can't find them now.
