Bellis 'Habanera Red' (Double Daisy) – Red Pompom Bedding Plant (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)

Bellis Habanera Red is a double English daisy with rich red, fully double pompom flowers, a classic cottage garden bedding plant that is easy to grow and very hardy. You get 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to a cell, ready to plant out.

Bellis perennis 'Habanera Red' forms a neat, compact rosette of bright green, spoon-shaped leaves, topped with dense, ball-shaped blooms in a deep, vibrant red. It flowers from late winter into spring and again in autumn, so it keeps borders, patio containers, window boxes and hanging baskets colourful when little else is out.

Plant in full sun to light shade, in moist, well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost. These daisies are fully hardy, so they can be planted in autumn and left outdoors through the British winter. They suit borders, edging, patio pots and baskets, and their compact habit makes them a good choice for small spaces.

Water regularly during dry spells, especially in containers, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Little other care is needed, which makes them a good choice for beginners.
