English Daisy Pomponette Blend
Bellis perennis
Perennial. A trio of colors of pompom flowers with such lovely little pincushion heads, you may want to plant them where you can reach down and touch them from time to time. A delightful edging plant along borders, perky filler for containers, and a fantastic bulb cover when planted with tulips or other spring-flowering plants. May bloom continually in coastal climates. Prefers light shade in inland, hot summer areas.
