Discover the English Daisy
Sometimes called European or Lawn Daisy, English Daisy is a perennial flower with a yellow disk at the center surrounded by white, pink, or red delicate petals.
The petals of these flowers open in the sun and fold up at night. And depending upon your region, the flower can be seen as a harbinger of spring or a pest that takes over your garden or lawn.
