General Description

English daisy is a cool season perennial that is native throughout much of Europe. This tidy plant produces small basal clumps of semi-evergreen leaves of light to medium green. The cultivar 'Rominette Red' is loved for its many large, double, cushion-like daisies of rich red that have distinctly quilled tips. These appear from mid-spring through summer and sporadically into fall.

English daisies struggle in extreme heat and prefer locations where summers are cool. Plant them in a site with full sun and moist well drained soil. These cheerful perennials makes fine additions to cottage gardens, containers and perennial borders.
