English DaisyBellis 'Speedstar Red' Height: 10-15 cm Width: 15-20 cm Zone: 3 Exposure: Sun to part shade Bloom time: Early Spring Deer and rabbit resistant English Daisies have long been popular for spring bedding, particularly in mild winter regions. Plants are biennial, usually lasting through one season, but self-seeding to provide future generations. This strain flowers well in both fall and spring the first year, with cute yellow-eyed semi-double daisies with red petals. Removing faded flowers regularly will keep plants blooming well into the summer. Often used to underplant tulips in large public landscapes, these are excellent anywhere in the garden, especially in containers or tubs. A recent introduction from breeder Ernst Benary of Germany.
