Description

The common daisy, known scientifically as Bellis perennis, is a familiar and widespread flowering plant found in many temperate regions around the world. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, which also includes sunflowers, daisies, and asters. The common daisy is known for its simple yet charming appearance, with white petals surrounding a yellow central disk.

Characterized by its low-growing habit and small, daisy-like flowers, Bellis perennis is often found in lawns, meadows, and other grassy areas. The flowers typically have numerous white petals, though some may have pink or reddish tinges, and a yellow center made up of tightly packed disk florets.

Common daisies are known for their resilience and adaptability, able to thrive in a variety of soil types and conditions. They spread easily through self-seeding and can quickly colonize open areas, making them a common sight in both urban and rural landscapes.
