Not long ago I posted pictures of my English Daisy (Bellis Perennis) plant growing wild in my yard. Since then it has grown and put on many more blooms. I think it's just a lovely little plant. Wish I had more of them now. They are a cool-season annual that are easy to grow from seed down here. Plant them in the fall for best results, though it may be worth a try in the early spring. They grow in the same conditions that calendulas grow in, so refer to my post of yesterday for more infomation. I think these would be perfect in a cottage garden at the front of a bed with taller plants behind them. They only get about 6" high.
I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.
