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 .....

Hi I have a dear friend from Germany who really wants the Marguerite daisy of her homeland. I would like to obtain a few cuttings or small plants of argyranthemum preferably. I can trade some pinespple sage cuttings or maybe even a scented gernamium or will pay a nominal amount. Your support and consideration is appreciated. mjh

I would surface sow them.
