Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun compound where 'painted' describes a daisy with noticeable coloration; a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a type of daisy with colored markings. Botanical specifics (perennial, native range, insecticidal use) are additional encyclopedic details but do not block comprehension of the basic meaning, and this compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Painted daisy gets its name from how the flower looks: the petals seem as if someone had painted the daisy with bright colors. That's why the name fits a colorful garden plant people use to brighten beds and sometimes to help keep insects away.
