English Daisy 'Pomponette Mix' Seeds

Pomponette turns the humble lawn daisy into a neat spring bedding plant, with tightly quilled double flowers like little buttons in rose red, pink and white. Bellis perennis 'Pomponette' forms low rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves and holds its flowers on short stems through spring, just as most bedding is getting going. Use it to edge paths and borders, fill window boxes and small pots, or plant it with tulips and forget-me-nots for a classic spring display.
