Meet the cheerful, classic daisy that keeps blooming when mild weather strikes.
The Common Daisy is a low-growing perennial herb that forms dense rosettes of spoon-shaped, evergreen leaves. Reaching just 0.1 to 0.2 meters tall, it produces classic white petals around a bright yellow central disc. It thrives outdoors in full sun or partial shade, making it a natural fit alongside tulips, pansies, and primroses.
This is an easy, dependable plant for beginners that grows at a moderate pace. It requires moderate watering and blossoms heavily during the spring season. You can easily propagate it by sowing seeds or dividing existing plants.
Beyond its classic looks, both the leaves and flowers of this plant are completely edible. It also attracts friendly pollinators like bees and butterflies to your yard. Keep in mind that while safe for humans, it is toxic to pets.
