Which common wildflower has the Latin name Bellis Perennis?
Bellis perennis Bellis perennis Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically, it has also been commonly known as bruisewort and occasionally woundwort (although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with "Stachys"). "Bellis perennis" is native to western, central and northern Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia. It is a
Bellis perennis on single leafless stems 3/4 – 4 in (approx. 2–10 cm), rarely 6 in (approx. 15 cm) tall. The capitulum, or disc of florets, is surrounded by two rows of green bracts known as "phyllaries". "Bellis perennis" generally blooms from early to midsummer, although when grown under ideal conditions, it has a very long flowering season and will even produce a few flowers in the middle of mild winters. It can generally be grown in USDA Zones 4 – 8 (i.e. where minimum temperatures are above ) in full sun to partial shade conditions, and requires low or no maintenance.
