Did you know
- Painted daisies contain natural pyrethrin, one of the most widely used organic insecticides.
- The pyrethrin compound is concentrated in the flower heads and is toxic to insects but safe for mammals.
- They are sometimes called the 'insect flower' due to their insecticidal properties.
- Painted daisies make excellent companion plants because they help repel garden pests.
- The flowers are long-lasting in bouquets, often surviving over a week in a vase.
