Daisy (Bellis perennis)

About the Daisy

Bellis perennis, the daisy, is a common European species of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "daisy," so differentiation is often necessary.

Characteristics

It is a herbaceous perennial plant with short creeping rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves. The flower heads are composite, in the form of a pseudanthium, consisting of many sessile flowers (white ray florets and yellow disc florets).
