Bellis Seeds

Official Name:  Bellis perennis

General description: L. Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy.

How to grow: Dig an individual hole for each plant, the hole should be deep enough to cover the roots but not any of the exposed stem. Gently firm into the ground, and water in. Keep watering throughout the season and feed weekly for best results. For container planting, fill the container up to three quarters with multipurpose compost. Carefully remove plant from the tray or pot and place in position. Fill the container back in with soil and gently firm down. Water in generously. Leave a space of 10 cm between plants when planting into a bed.

Benefits: The Daisy, whose scientific name Bellis Perennis means "eternal beauty", is a perennial plant found along roads and in meadows. Recognised for its firming properties and skin toning action, macerated Daisy oil is the ultimate bust treatment. It is also recommended for heavy legs.
