Robella Mini-motte Daisy - Bellis Perennis

Bellis perennis 'Robella', a variety of daisy that has an incomparable and unique shade among the daisy range. Indeed, the numerous salmon-pink pompoms give the plant a very special appeal, in addition to its resistance to cold and abundant flowering. In balcony troughs or at the front of flowerbeds, the Bellis perennis 'Robella' will creep among the bulbs to herald the spring.

Belonging to the asteraceae family, daisies represent innocence and attachment in the language of flowers. This is undoubtedly what attracts children and makes us want to scatter them throughout the garden to welcome spring with enthusiasm.

The 'Robella' was originally a perennial used as a biennial that preferred cool but well-drained soils. Its height of 15 cm (6 in) allows it to fit in at the edge of flowerbeds, in front of daffodils and tulips, but you can also find a place for it among pansies and forget-me-nots in pots and containers. Its base consists of a rosette of dark green leaves from which several hairy stems emerge, that bear a single head at their top. These pompom-shaped heads are both simple and fun: they resemble small, slightly flattened balls of 3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter made up of multiple very fine, long, very tightly-packed florets. They barely reveal their tiny heart at the beginning of their flowering.

A symbol of the Virgin Mary, Bellis perennis can be translated as 'eternal beauty', these both joyful and discreet spring flowers will accompany you from February to May. Enjoy their tender colours by placing them near the house in pots, accompanied by the pastel shades of pansies. You can also intersperse them in flowerbeds to soften the deeper hues of certain tulips.
