Spring-flowering series with 100% double large pompon flowers up to 4 cm in diameter. Suitable for bigger pots and containers. Beautiful and enchanting! Do not miss the highlight of the series, Bellis Tasso Strawberries & cream, which is particularly popular with the consumer! Benefits for you and your customer: + strong, well-balanced plant habit + early flowering + for bigger and more valuable pots Our recommendation: Grow under bright conditions if possible: low temperatures and a bright location produce compact plants. Temperatures over 10–12ºC produce a lot of foliage, thin stems and a decrease in flower induction. Aim for frost-free over wintering at 2-5ºC. After over wintering the plants can be brought on in spring at 10-12ºC to get them into flower. We recommend 10.5–12 cm pots.

Bellis perennis, the daisy, is a common European species of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name. To distinguish this species from other "daisies" it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically, it has also been widely known as bruisewort, and occasionally woundwort (although the common name "woundwort" is now more closely associated with the genus Stachys).

B. perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, including remote islands such as the Faroe Islands but has become widely naturalised in most temperate regions, including the Americas and Australasia.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are from 3/4 to 2 inches (approx. 2–5 cm) long and grow flat to the ground. The species habitually colonises lawns, and is difficult to eradicate by mowing – hence the term 'lawn daisy'. It exhibits the phenomenon of heliotropism where the flowers follow the position of the sun in the sky.

The flowerheads are composite, about 3/4 to 1-1/4 in (approx. 2–3 cm) in diameter, in the form of a pseudanthium, consisting of many sessile flowers with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets. Each inflorescence is borne on a single leafless stem 3/4 – 4 in (approx. 2–10 cm), rarely 6 in (approx. 15 cm) tall. The capitulum, or disc of florets, is surrounded by two rows of green bracts known as "phyllaries". The achenes are without pappus.
