As of February 2020, Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:[5]
Hybrids of Argyranthemum species, some involving species in related genera, are widely sold as ornamental plants for summer bedding or containers. These cultivars produce prolific single or double-flowered daisy-like flowers in shades of white, pink, yellow and purple throughout summer.[6] In the UK climate, they are generally half-hardy, and can be grown from seed or cuttings, or purchased as young plants to be planted out after all danger of frost has passed.[7]
