Etymology

Argyranthemum comes from Greek parts argyr- meaning 'silver' and -anthemum meaning 'flower'. Many plants in this group have silvery leaves or pale blooms, so the name literally means 'silver flower' and the -anthemum part is the same as in chrysanthemum, which helps you remember it as a flower name.
