Bellis likes any fertile soil but dislikes clay. Some double flowered types revert to wild types if not divided frequently. The flowers close at dusk. The plants can be grown in zones colder than 6 but must be transferred to a cold frame for the winter or be treated as an annual. They may also be grown as biennials but will bloom from seed the first year if the seeds are started early.
Propagation is by seed or division in autumn.
They are replanted back into the flower bed in fall. The seed germinates in 1 or 2 weeks at 68 degrees. This information is for educational purposes only.
