There is probably no plant that is found more often in different locations and everyone knows: the daisy. Even children know and love the friendly daisy, which beautifies the meadows with bright white-yellow dabs. That the flowers of the petite daisy are edible, many know that like wild herb dishes. However, the herb is also used for cough, joint problems and skin problems.

The daisy is native to the Mediterranean and Southern Europe. Even in ancient times, however, it came to Central Europe, as there were more and more meadows. The daisy family is today part of the original vegetation in Central Europe. It is widely naturalized in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia.
Due to the fact that daisies
make only low demands on location and soil, one finds the plant often
in nature. Typical localities are meadows, railway embankments,
sidewalks as well as wild meadows and cultivated parks.
The lawn daisy belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) and is related to herbs such as the dandelion, the yarrow or the chamomile. In the narrower sense, the plant belongs to the genus of Bellis, which is fairly poor in species with about 12 species. Also, better known is the annual daisy (Bellis annua), which is mainly found in the Mediterranean.
Daisies are perennial
growing plants which reaches stature heights of about 15 cm 5 cm (6
in). The brownish roots of the plant are usually no longer than 20 cm
(8 in). The roots of the daisy are of small length and
fibrous-branched.
The leaves of daisies have an ovate, elongated shape and are of a deep green color with a length of up to 4 cm (1.6 in) with a width of 2 cm (0.8 in). Likewise, the leaves are arranged as a basal rosette and grow upright in the air. The stems of the plant are rarely hairy and generally leafless.
The most striking feature of
the daisy is the flowering on a 4 to 10 cm (1.6 to 4 in) long stem.
This consists of white petals, which are arranged in a circle around
the yellow center. In fact, the white to pink petals are female
ligulate flowers. The yellow part of the daisy flower consists of
about 100 individual flowers (florets), which are characterized as a
pseudanthium.
The flowering time of the
daisy ranges from March to November. A special feature of the daisies
is that it is heliotrope. Meaning that the plant is always turned
towards the sun. The daisy therefore aligns its flower heads to the
position of the sun and closes in rain and at night.
Daisies are self-pollinators and form indehiscent fruits, which are referred to as achenes. The fact that daisies are spread over such wide areas is due to the fact that the seeds spread both by natural means (wind and precipitation) and by animals and humans. The seeds of the lawn daisy can easily stick under the hoofs of animals or on shoe soles, which makes them easy to disperse.
The daisy will find optimal
growth conditions in full-sun locations with moderately moist,
nutrient-rich and humic soils. Shady locations such as very dry and
sandy soils do not like the daisy.
Even if daisies are
self-sowing and are not really dependent on sowing by humans,
selected seed producers now offer daisy seeds. The seeds are sown in
the spring directly in the garden or in the pot on the balcony. After
two to three weeks, the first young daisy leaves will grow.
Sprinkle the seeds from June
to July in a 1 cm deep (0.4 in) groove. Then cover the sowing again
with soil and water a bit.
In addition to sowing, the
propagation of daisies is possible by splitting the roots. The mother
plant is separated at the root base and replanted.
If daisies grow wild in your
lawn, there is no special care required.
Daisies do not need a lot of
care. Regular watering promotes flower growth, while fertilizing is
not required throughout the flowering period.
In the fall, the soil can be
enriched with some humus. Additional fertilization is usually not
required for nutrient-rich soils or potting soil. If daisies are at
the same location over a period of several years, a few small amounts
of compost or a dilute organic-mineral herbal fertilizer can be used.

The daisy can be harvested
almost all year round. As soon as the first flowers and the tender
leaves show up, the regrowing flowers and leaves can be collected
until late autumn. The best quality, however, promise the late spring
and the summer months.
Since daisies are hardy, no
special frost protection is necessary.
Instead of mowing the pretty
flowers with a lawnmower, we can harvest and use them many times.
Daisies are great for eating, as a medicinal herb, for pretty
bouquets and for wreath of flowers.
Just like ground ivy ,
d andelion , ashweed and n ettle , the daisy
is one of those wild herbs that are not much noticed in many standard
cookbooks. However, it is not unknown among wildflower lovers.
From the daisy, both the
leaves and the closed flower buds as well as the open flower heads
can be used. The taste of daisy flowers can be described as
delicately nutty, while the leaves come up with a slightly sour note.
Rich in vitamin C,
magnesium, iron and other valuable ingredients, this healthy flower
is incredibly versatile and suitable for both hearty and sweet
recipes.
For hearty dishes, flowers
and leaves are used. They are suitable for salads, in herb-,
vegetable- or potato soup, for vegetable dishes, in herbal rolls,
herb quark and herb butter.
They also taste delicious
freshly sprinkled on bread or briefly steamed in a little olive oil
and then poured over the salad.
Still-closed or half-opened
flower heads are mixed in desserts and also used in cake. From the
little flowers you can also make jelly or syrup.
If you like it more spicy,
you can pickle the buds of daisies and use them as a substitute for
capers.

As with wild garlic and basil , pesto can be made from daisies. For a daisy pesto only two handfuls of washed-off leaves, roasted pine nuts, cashew nuts or sunflower seeds, olive oil, some salt and pepper are needed. All ingredients are crushed together in a food processor or with the blender to a pesto-like consistency.
This jelly is quick and easy
to prepare. It is not only suitable as a spread, but also as a
healthy, fruity addition to desserts, porridge or cereals.
The daisy has many healing
potential and can help us to stay or become healthy. It is simply
consumed or drunk as a tea. It has an uplifting and strengthening
effect on the psyche.
Externally, it is used for acne, cold sores, bruises and wound healing. For this purpose, a brew of the flowers and leaves is cooked and applied by means of envelopes on the skin, as well as the brew is suitable as a bath additive.
Fresh leaves, stems and
flowers can be grated or crushed to help against swelling and itching
from insect bites.
A tea from the leaves of the
daisy stimulates appetite and metabolism, promotes digestion and can
also relieve cough. Thanks to its diuretic properties, it can also
reduce edema. It is also helpful for fever, mucous congestion of the
respiratory system, liver problems, pelvic inflammation, especially
the uterus, and after birth. In England it is often used as a
supportive remedy for arteriosclerosis.
As with all medicinal herbs,
you should take a break after six weeks of continuous use and
temporarily drink another tea with a similar effect. Then you can
drink daisy tea again for six weeks. The break avoids any unwanted
long-term effects and the desired daisy effectiveness is maintained
and does not diminish through habituation.
Daisy extract can be used
for envelopes (for sprains, bruises and dislocations) and as a
mouthwash for oral mucosal inflammations.

In addition to the wild
growing varieties, garden centers also offer cultures. However,
special care should be taken with the increasingly popular Swan River
daisy, native to Australia. The plant is similar to the common daisy
only in terms of its flower shape. The flower color, however, is
blue-violet and the leaves are pinnate. In addition, the botanical
name Brachyscome iberidifolia refers to another genus
(Brachyscome = blue daisies).
If in any doubt, the
botanical name Bellis perennis should be checked for plants
and seeds.
Homeopathic medicines are
also available free of charge. In some pharmacies as well as online
shops, globules are available in different potencies.
Some herbalists and online
shops offer dried daisies, which can be used for teas, preparation of
ointments and steam baths. The mixtures should contain not only the
flowers but also the herb. Dried daisies cost about 5 – 10 EUR for
100 grams (3.5 oz).
