Compact, spring-flowering bedding plants offering reliable early-season colour, strong garden performance and excellent versatility for borders, containers, pots and seasonal displays. Bellis Habanera is a premium English Daisy variety selected for its large, fully double blooms, tidy growth habit and dependable performance in cool weather planting.
Bellis Habanera is a refined form of Bellis perennis, producing distinctive fluffy, pincushion-style flowers in rich red, clean white and soft rose tones. The blooms are larger and more decorative than standard daisies, creating a bold yet traditional look well suited to spring bedding schemes, cottage gardens and formal planting designs.
Naturally compact and uniform, these English Daisy plants grow to around 15cm tall, forming dense mounds ideal for edging paths, filling containers, rockeries and mass bedding displays. Their neat habit makes them easy to combine with bulbs, perennials and other cool-season bedding plants for balanced, professional-looking garden layouts.
Supplied as strong, garden-ready live plants with generous 1L rootballs, Bellis Habanera establishes quickly when planted into borders or containers. Strong root development reduces transplant shock and supports reliable growth, flowering and consistent performance through the spring season.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Bellis Habanera thrives in sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering and occasional feeding encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering, while light deadheading helps maintain a neat appearance and extend the display into early summer.
