10 Seeds Bellis perennis European Daisy
Bellis perennis, commonly known as the European Daisy, is a charming low-growing perennial that forms neat clumps of spoon-shaped green leaves. It produces an abundance of small white ray florets surrounding bright yellow centers, creating a classic daisy appearance that brightens beds, borders, and containers from early spring onward. This species is valued by gardeners for its compact habit and long blooming window.
The European Daisy works well in rock gardens, edging, wildflower patches, and mixed containers. Its flowers can be used as a cheerful cut addition to small arrangements, and the plants naturalize readily in suitable conditions when allowed to self-seed. Deadheading helps extend the bloom period and keeps plants tidy through the season.
