Daisy (Bellis perennis) is a charming, low-growing perennial native to the UK. Known for its classic, white petals with a yellow center, this familiar wildflower is a perfect addition to any meadow, lawn, or grassland. Daisies thrive in well-drained, fertile soils and sunny conditions, making them easy to grow and maintain in a range of landscapes.

Daisies are a great way to add color and visual interest to wildflower mixes. Their bright, cheerful blooms support pollinators, particularly bees, and are known for creating a pleasant contrast with other wildflowers. Daisies also have a long flowering period from spring to autumn, providing valuable nectar throughout the warmer months.
