Bellis Pink (Bellis perennis) – Plant Care Guide

Bellis Pink, commonly known as the pink English daisy, is a charming, low-growing perennial valued for its neat rosettes of green leaves and soft pink, button-like flowers. It is a popular choice for borders, containers, window boxes, and seasonal displays, especially in spring.

Light Requirements

• Prefers full sun to partial shade

• Best flowering occurs in a bright position with some protection from strong afternoon sun

• Tolerates light shade, particularly in warmer weather

• Too much shade may result in fewer flowers and leggier growth

Watering

• Enjoys consistently moist but well-drained soil

• Water regularly during dry periods, especially when grown in containers

• Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can cause root rot

• Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings

• Reduce watering in cooler or wetter weather

Soil and Planting

• Thrives in fertile, well-draining soil

• Suitable for garden beds, borders, and containers

• When planting in the ground, improve soil with organic matter if needed

• In pots, use a good-quality multipurpose compost

• Ensure containers have drainage holes to prevent standing water

Feeding

• Benefits from regular feeding during the growing and flowering season

• Apply a balanced liquid feed every two to three weeks for container-grown plants

• Garden-grown plants usually require minimal feeding if planted in good soil

• Avoid overfeeding, which can encourage leaf growth at the expense of flowers

Temperature and Hardiness

• Hardy in mild climates and can tolerate light frost

• Performs best in cool to mild temperatures

• Prolonged heat can reduce flowering and cause stress

• In colder areas, may be grown as a seasonal plant rather than a long-term perennial

• Protect container plants during severe frost by moving them to a sheltered spot

Maintenance and Care

• Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming

• Deadheading also helps keep plants tidy and compact

• Trim back any damaged or yellowing leaves as needed

• Plants may naturally slow down flowering in warmer summer conditions

• In autumn, growth may reduce, but plants often recover again in cooler weather

Pests and Problems

• Generally low maintenance and trouble-free

• May occasionally attract aphids, particularly on new growth

• Slugs and snails can damage leaves in damp conditions

• Ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal issues

• Avoid overhead watering where possible

Uses in the Garden

• Ideal for spring bedding displays and mixed containers

• Works well edging borders or paths

• Combines beautifully with pansies, violas, and spring bulbs

• Compact growth habit makes it suitable for small spaces
