The margarita it is a perennial herbaceous plant It grows to a maximum height of 30 centimeters. Its scientific name is Perpetual warsand is native to Europe, and from North Africa to Central Asia, although today it is found in all temperate and warm regions of the world.
Its flowers are a real wonder, since what we see as a single flower, is actually a composed of female flowers that are in the center, and of male flowerswhich is why the daisy is said to be a compound plant. Female flowers do not have any petals, since their only function is to produce fruits; on the other hand, male flowers have a single petal, which in the compound ones (now also called asteraceae, since they belong to this family, Asteraceae) is called a ligule.
