Perfect for pollinators Lawn daisy -bellis perennis– is a familiar garden plant and the basis for a mini -meadow or flowering lawn. It will grow well on most soils including fertile ones and can be introduced into short grass. Lawn daisies look best in full sun where their delightful white and yellow flowers are very attractive to bees drawn by the rich pollen and bright colour. This is a low growing species with a long flowering period from March to September. Lawn Daisies look best growing alongside other low growing meadow plants such as Bulbous Buttercup, Self heal, Forget-me-nots, Birdsfoot trefoil, and Cowslips. How to grow Lawn daisy Seeds Lawn daisy seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered very lightly with compost.. Lawn daisy seeds are usually easy to germinate and the seedlings, which are quick to develop, can be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year into grassland or lawns. RHS Perfect for Pollinators. The RHS Perfect for Pollinators mark is only given to plants that support pollinating insects in gardens.
