Perky Daisies and their Symbolism1
Daisies are perky flowers that are considered relatively easy to grow. These perennials will brighten any garden. Daisies get their name from an Anglo Saxon term meaning “day’s eyeâ€, referring to the way that the blossoms open and close for the sun each day. Daisies are symbolic of childhood innocence, modesty, and simplicity.
Daisies are great plants for novice gardeners because they are easy to grow. They are usually planted directly from seeds. They require direct exposure to sunlight for a minimum of six hours per day. They also need rich soil with adequate drainage in order to thrive. Daisies are hardy and forgiving plants that bloom repeatedly in one growing season. And if cared for properly they will be back season after season to brighten u your garden.
