Default violas and pansies

The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words:

The message
from "Ophelia" contains these words:


Indeed A question now. I grew those tiny white daisy flowers
(Marguerites?) and they were a wonderful show until the first frost.
Can I
leave the plant in situ? Will they grow again. Are they perennials?


Marguerites are perenniels, though I'd describe them as approaching
elephantine daisies, not tiny. I'd gaugue the flowers to be about 2½"
across, and their height around 2'6".


Otherwise, spot-on!


I rather suspect that the Marguerites Ophelia was referring to were
those that are a.k.a. "Paris daisies"? Bushy plants, ideal for pots.
