Cute as a button, and very susceptible to impulse buying at mass merchandisers, we've had English daisies in our garden at various times. I don't recall one ever acting as a perennial - although I don't recall if it's summer heat, winter cold, or bunny browsing that does them in. We just got two new ones, 'Galaxy Red' and 'Tasso Pink' to try. If nothing else, they will entertain us for the here and now with their large and abundant puffed-up daisies.

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Marie Baggio | Apr 15, 2009 | Love your website - the best I've come across when I'm looking to try new plants. I love that there's a picture of the flower before I click into it for details and I love that you show a closeup and far shot of the flower to give me a true picture of the flower. Most website show the flower close up, which always looks great usually since they want to sell you their seeds or bulbs, which did work for me until now. Many times when I see the picture of the whole plant, it's not that nice. I also love your honestly in your descriptions since you make me feel better about some of my flowers not returning - if you're an expert gardner and some of the plants don't return for you, well, they sure as hell won't come back for me either! Since I've discovered your website, I'm always using it as a reference.
Thanks a bunch!
