Bellis 'Speedstar Plus Rose' (Double English Daisy) – Rose Pink Spring Bedding Daisy (18 Plants in 2 x 9-Cell Trays)

Bellis perennis, the double English daisy, gives a long season of cheerful rose-pink colour from a low, compact plant that suits spring and autumn bedding.

These pomponette-style double daisies form a neat rosette of mid-green, spoon-shaped leaves and are topped with rose-pink flowers. They are fully hardy, so they can be planted in autumn to flower through spring and are easy to look after. They suit the front of a cottage garden border, the edge of a rockery, window boxes, patio pots and hanging baskets.

You receive 18 plants, growing in 2 plastic 9-cell bedding trays with one plant to a cell. Plant them out in full sun or partial shade in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, and water regularly during dry spells.

Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering.
