Notes

'English Daisy' bellis (Bellis perennis 'English Daisy') is an annual for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy annuals and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Woodland phlox, Greig's tulip, and Prairie dropseed.
