The daisy flower does not just bud, blossom, and die like most other flowers. Rather it performs a daily routine of “sleeping” at night by closing and “waking” in the morning by opening up again. Because of this unusual trait and the whorled appearance of the flower, the daisy was given the Old English name dægeseage, meaning literally “day’s eye.” The distinctive ray-like appearance of the daisy as it opens and closes with the sun reminds one of an eye that opens in the morning and closes at night.

Daisies are a popular choice for gardens—and for good reason. Bright, cheerful, and easy to grow, the flowers are readily identifiable and are a mainstay of cottage gardens and classic perennial borders alike. But the term "daisy" is far broader than you may realize. There are multitudes of options when it comes to choosing daisies to grow in your garden.
The common name "daisy" is applied to a large handful of species within the huge Asteraceae family of plants, a group known for blooms that are flat and disc-shaped, with petals that form rays projecting outward from a central hub. The family also includes chrysanthemums , zinnias , asters , and sunflowers as well as many common weeds, such as dandelions. However, the daisy species that are best for your flower garden depends on several factors. A daisy that's perfect for one growing zone might be a total pest in another.
Here are seven gorgeous species of daisies to consider for your garden.
Some types of daisies are considered weeds and are categorized by states as invasive (and thus discouraged), because they grow so rapidly, thanks to self-sowing and their robust nature. Check with your local county extension office before planting a new daisy variety.
The common English daisy , Bellis perennis , has a somewhat deserved reputation for being a weed; it's even considered invasive in some areas. The species has flowers with white rays and yellow centers, but there are many cultivars with semi-double and button flowers, such as 'Galaxy Red.' These cultivars are both showier and better behaved than the primary species. English daisies are hardy in growing zones 4 to 8 but are often grown as biennials in warmer zones and as annuals in cooler zones. These low-growing daisies, especially the showier cultivars, can make excellent ground cover plants.
The National Garden Bureau named 2013 the Year of the Gerbera, declaring the pleasing shape and luminous colors of the flower to be irresistible to gardeners. And we're still in love with the species today. Unlike some daisies, this South African native is a tender perennial, hardy only in warm climates. However, the plants can thrive in a container garden and make fabulous cut flowers , as many florists and brides can attest. Gerbera daisies, also called African Daisies or Veldt Daisies, prefer morning sun, although full sun is tolerated in cooler climates. Irrigate the plants at soil level to keep water off the foliage and prevent fungal diseases. Look for the Festival series in a rainbow of colors, or try one of the lush, semi-double types, such as the peach-hued Cartwheel Chardonnay.
The Marguerite daisy, Argyranthemum frutescens , also known as the cobbitty daisy, thrills gardeners with its blazing yellow and pink color choices as well as its demure white petal variety, which will thrive as a perennial in zones 8-10. These are annuals in all but the warmest growing zones, so they won't return after winter, but you will get a full season of repeating blooms. Marguerite daisies are at their best during spring and fall when nighttime temperatures are below 75 degrees. However, if you shear them back in the summer, they'll bounce back with a new flush of blooms when the autumn rains arrive.
What's considered a vigorous plant in one garden is considered a weed in another, and that's true for the oxeye daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare . It's a native flower in Europe, where the spreading nature and drought tolerance of the plants make them pasture pests. These short-lived perennials are discouraged in a dozen continental states because they're considered invasive. However, in tamer settings, oxeye daisies are welcome for their three-month bloom time. Consider using them in a small, well-kept wildflower garden , or allow them to naturalize in your cottage garden.
The ease of care and vivid blooms of the painted daisy, Tanacetum coccineum, makes it deserving of a spot in every cutting garden. It starts blooming in early summer and may even put on a second, smaller showing in the fall if you deadhead the faded blooms . After the fernlike leaves appear in spring, watch out for aphids and leafminer . Varieties like 'James Kelway' are easy to start from seed or try the pale pink 'Eileen May Robinson.'
A cross of the oxeye daisy and three other wild daisies yielded the beloved Shasta daisy, Leucanthemum x superbum , which received its common name from the white snow of Mount Shasta in California. The many cultivars of this daisy offer gardeners several different looks for their flower borders , ranging from the yellow 'Banana Cream' to the frilly, fringed 'Phyllis Smith.' The 'Becky' and 'Alaska' varieties are widely sold and look like the classic daisy flower seen in many cottage gardens. These plants bloom across a long season but reach their peak in June and July. Although they're low-maintenance, Shasta daisies don’t like wet feet and will sometimes fail to reappear in the garden after a soggy winter. Divide the plants every two years to keep them vigorous.
A warm-weather perennial from Australia, the swan river daisy produces small flowers, only about 1 inch in diameter. But the blooms are so colorful and abundant—and the flower works so well with other garden plants—that it can serve as a central feature of any flower garden. Lavender, blue, yellow, or white blooms appear in abundance from summer into fall, while the foliage is a softly textured gray-green hue.
Shasta daisies, black-eyed Susans, and African daisies or osteospermum have a longer bloom period, blooming at least three months. Black-eyed Susans will bloom from June to September, and Shastas will produce flowers from July to September. Osteospermums start blooming in late spring, flowering through fall, but slow down during the height of summer.
In short, daisies are perennial depending on your USDA growing zone. Marguerite and gerbera daisies are only perennial if grown in zone 9 or higher. Most other daisies are perennial down to zone 3 or 4. Do not confuse hardier golden Marguerites ( Anthemis tinctoria) with Marguerite daisies; the two are two different species.
Oxeye daisies are among the easiest daisies to grow. These quintessential daisies self-seed and grow easily; they're even listed as invasive in Washington state. Before planting them in your region, check your local extension for invasiveness.

Exuding freshness, happiness, and innocence, daisies are one of the most well-known flowers around the world. When you think of daisies, you probably picture classic white petals around a bright yellow center, but you may be surprised to learn there are many other varietals that go by the same name (think Gerbera daisy or English daisy ). Most types of daisies begin blooming in early summer and keep on going through the fall. Here are five more interesting facts about daisies.
Though they originated in Europe and temperate regions of Asia, daisies were eventually introduced to Australia and North America and can now be found on every continent except for Antarctica. Their abundance is partially due to their adaptive nature—daisies can thrive in both wet and dry climates , adapt well to sunny or shady areas, and can grow high in the mountains or on flat, grassy fields. Basically, daisies are botanical chameleons. Bonus: They're actually related to sunflowers , so you can find them growing in similar habitats to their larger yellow cousins.
The common name daisy originates from the Old English phrase "Daes eage," which translates to "day's eye." This name reflects how these flowers close their petals in the evening and reopen them come morning, making daisies some of the first eyes to open to the morning sun each day.
Of course, daisies add texture and color to backyard landscaping and make a lovely addition to bouquets and centerpieces. However, daisies also can be used for much more than just their good looks. Perhaps most surprisingly, you can actually eat daisies ! The next time you're looking for a unique and pretty garnish for your salad or cake, pluck some daisies from your yard and sprinkle them on top. Daisies are actually closely related to artichokes , so they're a great source of vitamin C. Additionally, daisies also have lots of medicinal properties—they're known to slow bleeding, relieve indigestion, and soothe coughs.
Bees have a thing for daisies, and Shasta daisies in particular are one of their favorite flowers to pollinate. The flat shape of the flower is especially attractive to bees because there's plenty of room to land on the yellow center to collect pollen and nectar. The center of a daisy also contains hundreds of smaller flowers that combine to create a cluster called an inflorescence, which allows bees to efficiently collect a lot of food from one landing.
As a flower, daisies symbolize innocence, purity, loyalty, patience, and simplicity. The classic white daisy is associated with humility, while the more rare blue Marguerite daisy hints at openness and peace. A bouquet of daisies can be the perfect gesture for many
