How to Care for a Bellium Daisy

Bellium daisies are a variety of miniature matting daisies that are commonly used as ground cover. The plant reaches only 2 inches high and has a spread of up to 15 inches. It is shade tolerant and makes an excellent filler for the space between paving stones. Use the plant as a border edging, under trees or in any container. The small daisies grow best in warm climates, and spread easily.

Instructions

- 1
  Plant the Bellium daisy in an area that gets full sun or partial shade, such as under trees or high shrubs. Do not plant the daisies in areas that get full, dry shade.
- 2
  Water frequently enough to keep the soil moist to the touch. These daisies are drought intolerant and will die during hot months without regular watering.
- 3
  Avoid walking on the daisies. They are mildly tread tolerant, so you can plant them between paver stones or flagstones, but they will thrive more readily if left alone.
- 4
  Do not prune the daisies. During the winter, the foliage will die back on its own. It reseeds easily, so even if your climate is too cold for it to act as an evergreen, it will probably reappear the next spring.
