Tasso Daisy in mini-plug mix - Bellis Perennis

Tasso Mix Daisies, also known as Bellis perennis, are the perfect allies to brighten up spring. The early pompom blooms of this biennial come in delicious pastel candy colorsof white, pink, red and cheerfully animate balconies and flower borders. Hardy and floriferous, this mix gives a harmonious accompaniment to spring bulbs.

Belonging to the Asteraceae family, daisies represent innocence and attachment in the language of flowers - hence their attraction for children and our desire to scatter them throughout the garden to welcome in the spring.

Originally a perennial plant, used as a biennial, it prefers moist but well-drained soil. Its size (15 cm / 5.9 in) allows it to fit at the edge of flowerbeds in front of narcissi and tulips, but you can also find a place for it among pansies and forget-me-nots in pots and containers. Their base consists of a rosette of dark green leaves, from which multiple pilous stems emerge, bearing a single flower at their top. These flowers, in the form of pompoms, are both simple and impressive: they are small, slightly flattened balls (3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter), made up of multiple very fine petals, positioned very densely with geometric regularity. At the start of blooming their tiny yellow heart is barely visible. If grown without chemical treatment you can even consume them - try sprinkling dishes with these little coloured filaments.

The Bellis perennis live up to their name, which means "eternal beauties". They will keep you company from February to May and their colours, both soft and vibrant, will complete the full palette of spring flowers. They fit effortlessly in every corner of the garden and can fill in spaces in arrangements.

Note: Please be aware that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible into pots or containers, or directly into flower beds.
