The marguerite flower is native to Europe and North Africa. It has been cultivated for centuries for its beauty and simplicity. The name “marguerite” comes from the French word for pearl, reflecting the flower’s delicate white petals.
In Japan, marguerite flowers were introduced during the Meiji period (1868–1912) along with many other Western flowers. Since then, they have become a popular ornamental flower, symbolizing purity, innocence, and cheerfulness in Japanese gardens and floral arrangements.
