Meet the common daisy, a cheerful garden classic that asks for very little.
The common daisy is a low-growing perennial plant that stays green all year round. It forms dense carpets of spoon-shaped leaves and produces simple white flowers with bright yellow centers. Reaching just up to 0.2 meters tall, it looks wonderful planted alongside tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies, and primroses.
This is an easy, fuss-free plant to grow outdoors in full sun or partial shade. It prefers moderate watering and flowers continuously whenever the weather stays mild. You can easily start new plants from seed or by dividing established clumps.
Beyond its classic look, the common daisy is a useful friend to local wildlife. Its bright blooms attract friendly bees and butterflies throughout the spring. Both its leaves and flowers are edible for humans, though you should keep pets from eating them.
