Bellis perennis (English daisy)

Ask most gardeners in Vancouver what an English daisy looks like and they’ll point at their front lawn. A typical specimen has a single row of white petals and a yellow center, and the plant is just short enough to evade your lawnmower. If you allowed your lawn to grow a foot tall. you’d have no more problems with English daisies - they’d be shaded out. Unfortunately, our fetish for a neatly clipped lawn creates the perfect habitat for this ‘invasive species’. This European wildflower is now found in front lawns all over the world.

It’s hard to believe that these beautiful cultivars belong to the same species but they illustrate what can be done with a humble ‘weed’ when it draws the attention of professional horticulturalists. Will we see purple dandelions any time soon? Don’t rule this possibility out. After all, look what they’ve done to the English daisy!
