Bellis perennis, commonly known as English daisy, is a low-growing perennial plant valued for its compact habit and cheerful, button-like flowers. It develops a dense rosette of spoon-shaped leaves and produces small daisy-like blooms in shades of white, pink, and red during the cool growing season. This plant adapts well to temperate climates and performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. English daisy is commonly used in lawns, borders, edging, and containers, where it establishes easily from seeds and grows steadily under suitable conditions.
