The detail
The Bellis Habanera Red is a striking variety of English Daisy, prized for its large, fully double blooms featuring elegant quilled petals in a rich red shade. Part of the popular Habanera series, this variety produces notably larger flowers than traditional Bellis, creating a bold and eye-catching display in borders, beds and containers. A hardy and reliable perennial, often grown as a biennial, this plant is well suited to the UK climate and arrives outdoor garden ready in a generous 2 litre root ball, well-established and ready to thrive in your garden.
Bellis Habanera Red is a compact, low-growing plant that works beautifully as edging along pathways, tucked into rockeries, or planted en masse for a carpet of colour in spring. It pairs wonderfully with other spring bedding such as pansies, violas and primroses, and is equally at home in patio containers and window boxes.
