english daisy

English daisies are spring favorites producing fluffy pom-pom to tufted daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers surrounded with red, pink or white petals. Bellis develop a compact, clumping growth habit and good flower vigor performing up until the heat of the summer. Use in rock gardens, plant around spring blooming bulbs, and in spring containers.

Plant in cool, moist, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Deadhead this biennial to keep a clean appearance, but let some seed develop and drop. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide after flowering.
