Bellis Perennis | Common Daisy - True Wild Form

Low-growing and full of charm, this neat little perennial daisy spreads into tidy rosettes that hug the ground, creating a soft green carpet effect in lawns, borders, or between paving. Its dark green, spoon-shaped leaves stay close to the soil, while short creeping rhizomes help it gently naturalise, making it a reliable choice for filling gaps or softening edges.

From late spring into summer, Bellis perennis produces small but cheerful daisy flowers with bright yellow centres surrounded by delicate white petals, often flushed with soft pink. These blooms subtly track the sun through the day, adding a dynamic touch to its display. Ideal for informal planting schemes, wildlife-friendly lawns, or cottage-style gardens, it thrives in open, sunny spots and copes well with regular mowing, making it both practical and pretty.
