Common daisy The daisy of the meadows 🌼

The common daisy (Bellis perennis, family Asteraceae) is a small flower found almost everywhere, from lowland meadows to high altitudes, and it blooms practically all year round. Despite its apparent fragility, it can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C ❄️.

Mowed lawns are the ideal habitat for this species, which spreads rapidly to form true clouds of flower heads. The leaves, oval or spoon-shaped, are grouped in a basal rosette. The plant can reach a height of 20-60 cm and belongs to the Asteraceae family.
