Bellis perennis

Daisies (Bellis perennis) are perennial plants that grow primarily in temperate regions and prefer sunlight.

Growth CharacteristicsThey are small, growing to a height of approximately 10–20 cm, and their leaves form a rosette cluster around the roots. Flowers bloom from spring to summer, featuring white or pink petals with a yellow center. They thrive in sunny locations and prefer well-drained soil.

Propagation MethodsThey can be propagated by seeds and division. Propagation by seeds is mainly done in the spring; simply sow the seeds on moist soil. Propagation by division is possible by dividing mature plants by their roots in the autumn or spring and transplanting them.

Cultivation MethodsThey grow healthily in well-drained soil with sufficient sunlight. Water regularly, but care must be taken to avoid overwatering. It is best to apply fertilizer in moderation; slow-release fertilizer can be applied in late winter or early spring to aid plant growth.

Uses in the GardenCharacterized by its low stature and showy flowers, it is suitable for decorating flower beds or borders. It can also be used as a ground cover instead of grass and blends well with other perennials.

Major Pests and Control Methods
Although it is relatively resistant to diseases, leaf fungal diseases may occur in humid environments. To prevent this, a well-ventilated planting structure and proper drainage are important. Aphids are a common pest; in this case, they can be controlled by regularly washing with soapy water or using natural pesticides.

As such, daisies are relatively easy to care for, making them a plant that even beginners can easily grow.
