Bellissima White English Daisy

Bellissima White English Daisy (Bellis perennis 'Bellissima White')

Bellissima White English Daisy brings crisp, fresh spring color in a compact plant that looks polished in beds, borders, and containers. The fully double white blooms create a dense, tidy display that reads clean from a distance and detailed up close. Its low, mounded habit stays neat, making it easy to repeat along edges for a finished look. It shines in cool weather, giving you a strong early-season lift when the garden is just getting started.

Distinctive Features

This English daisy forms a tight rosette of glossy green leaves and produces short stems topped with fully double, pom-pom style white flowers with a small yellow center. Bloom is strongest in early spring through late spring, and it can continue longer where temperatures remain mild. The compact habit keeps flowers close to the foliage, creating a refined, uniform look in mass plantings. Because it is a cool-season performer, it benefits from consistent moisture and protection from prolonged heat.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade helpful in warmer climates.
• Soil: Moist, well-drained soil with organic matter, avoiding heavy, waterlogged conditions.
• Water: Keep evenly moist, watering when the surface begins to dry, especially in containers.
• Zones: USDA Zones 4 to 8.
• Temperature: Performs best in cool conditions and can decline in prolonged heat or drought.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Plant a tight cluster in a decorative pot near an entry to create a spring focal point with clean, bright white blooms.
• Edging: Line the front of borders for a low, tidy ribbon of white that sharpens bed lines.
• Containers: Use in patio pots and window boxes for close-up detail and easy moisture control.
• Spring Bedding: Mass with bulbs and cool-season companions for a layered early-season display that feels fresh and inviting.

Low Maintenance Care

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to keep the plant tidy and encourage continued blooming in cool weather.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture and avoid letting soil dry out completely during active growth.
• Feeding: Provide a light, balanced feeding during the growing season, especially for container plantings.
• Heat Protection: Offer afternoon shade and steady moisture as temperatures rise to reduce stress and extend performance.
