Description
Giant Double Mixed English Daisy Bell Seeds 6450.
Vibrant Spring Carpets of Ruffled Pink and White Double Blooms.
Giant Double Mixed English Daisy Bell (Bellis perennis) is a cherished open-pollinated favourite that brings cheerful, early-season colour to garden beds from early April into May. Featuring fully double, button-like blossoms in a charming mix of pinks and soft white, the fluffy flowers rise on 15 cm stems above neat tufts of shiny green foliage. Perfect as a front-of-border edging, container accent, or rockery companion, this cold-hardy biennial thrives particularly well in cool spring weather and lake-effect microclimates. Because English Daisies may not always self-seed reliably, annual sowing ensures a dependable carpet of vibrant spring blooms year after year.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Giant Double Mixed English Daisy is easily started indoors for early spring colour or direct-sown in late spring for blooms the following year.
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors in a quality soilless starter mix in mid-February. Surface sow seeds on top of the medium—do not cover, as light is required for germination. Maintain a steady temperature of 21°C for the 14 day germination period. Move sprouted seedlings under grow lights before hardening off and transplanting outdoors once spring weather permits.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing: Direct sow seed outdoors during May and June for strong foliage growth and abundant flowering the following spring.
-
Garden Spacing & Care: Space plants 15 cm apart in rich, moist soil in full sun to partial shade. Keep plants well watered throughout the growing season and feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer for optimal garden performance.
