BELLIS perennis 'Super Enorma'
English Daisy, Super Enorma English Daisy
As large as the human palm, this hybrid mixture features some of the biggest blossoms available for English daisies. Appearing in shades of pink, rose-red and white, the enormous, quilled flowers are held atop short, upright leafless stems which rise from low rosettes of semi-evergreen, spoon-shaped foliage. They bloom generously from late winter into summer, and sporadically into mid-fall.
Preferring cool temperatures, English daisy struggles in extreme heat, so is best planted in part shade where summers are hot. Otherwise, it can be planted in full sun and should be provided with fertile, moist soil. This cheerful perennial makes a fine edging plant for cottage gardens and mixed borders, and is lovely when used in containers or planted among spring-blooming bulbs.
English daisy is native to grasslands and woodland edges of Europe as far east as Turkey. Long popular as a garden plant in England, it has been bred to create a range of colorful hybrids. These plants produce small, basal clumps of semi-evergreen foliage that may spread by rhizomes over time in cool summer climates. However, the more contemporary bedding varieties are short-lived in some areas, growing for just a few seasons before they die out entirely.
