Highlights
English daisies have been beloved garden fixtures for generations, and this mixed variety captures that timeless appeal in three soft color palettes. The low, compact habit keeps them tidy even in small spaces, while their long flowering period stretches from spring well into summer. Starting them early gives you dense, cheerful blooms when you need color most, and they'll return reliably year after year in most climates.
Common Uses
Mixed Bellis English Daisies are grown purely as ornamental flowers for garden display. They excel in rock gardens where their compact size creates fine detail and texture, shine as edging plants along borders, and brighten container plantings on patios and balconies. Their long bloom season makes them reliable performers for sustained color throughout spring and summer.

Care Instructions
Start Indoors
Start seeds indoors early in the season to ensure plants mature and flower in their first year. English daisies benefit from an early start, so begin seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost date.
Transplant Outdoors
Transplant seedlings outdoors after they've developed true leaves and conditions are frost-free. Harden off plants by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting. Space transplants 6 inches apart with rows 10 inches apart.
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and maintain the neat, upright growth habit. Remove any dead or damaged foliage to keep plants tidy and encourage good air circulation.

History & Origin
“Bellis perennis has roots in European meadows and has been cultivated in gardens for centuries. English daisies were brought into cottage gardens and borders where their modest height and abundant blooms made them beloved fixtures. The mixed color forms available today represent the result of careful selection and breeding to offer gardeners a range of hues rather than single-color specimens, bringing more visual interest to borders and containers.”
