Although each Daisy looks like one single flower, they are in fact a composite of many small florets that make up the yellow central disc and white spear -shaped floret petals.  

They have a dark green stem and dark green spoon shaped leaves. Every day, they follow the sun’s direction in the sky, in a phenomenon known as heliotropism. When night comes, they close their petals and reopen again at first light. They flower from early spring right into autumn and have been known to flower throughout a mild winter.  

The Latin name comes from the word “bella”, meaning beautiful and “perennis” meaning perennial.
