Rosettes of small spatula shaped, dark green leaves. Flowers tend to be white, pink or red variations.  Loved by gardeners for the cheerful blooms that add to the garden in the spring. Great choice for spring bulb companion plant, in rock gardens or as a border plant.



Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Plant in light, rich, moist retaining soil.  Water regularly as English daisies do not like to be dried out.  Removing spent blossoms will encourage additional blooming.  Best to divide in spring once flowering is finished.
