Cushion Daisy in 18cm Pot

The cushion daisy in an 18 cm pot is a dense, compact perennial characterized by countless white flower heads with yellow centers that create a veritable "cushion" of flowers. It's highly decorative both alone in a pot and in mixed arrangements, where it instantly adds a touch of freshness and naturalness.

In the garden, it's perfect for borders, flowerbeds, embankments, and large planters: its rounded shape and orderly growth make it ideal for filling empty spaces and creating continuous splashes of color. In pots, it enhances entryways, terraces, and balconies, especially when paired with terracotta containers or natural materials that enhance its Mediterranean style.

Flowering is abundant and prolonged: in optimal conditions, it can begin in spring and continue until autumn, with a constant turnover of buds and flowers. To keep the plant in good shape, it's advisable to regularly remove faded flower heads to encourage new blooms.

As for exposure, the daisy prefers full sun or bright partial shade: the more light it receives, the more compact and abundant its blooms will be. It tolerates heat well, as long as the soil never dries out for too long, and can tolerate cooler temperatures fairly well, especially if protected from severe frost.

Watering should be regular: the soil should be kept slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging in the saucer. In spring and summer, it's helpful to water more frequently, while in autumn, you can reduce the amount of water depending on the climate. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

For vigorous growth, we recommend using a liquid fertilizer specifically designed for flowering plants, applied every 10–15 days during the growing season, or a slow-release granular fertilizer in early spring. A balanced nutrient supply promotes abundant blooms, deep green foliage, and improved resistance to environmental stress.

Symbolically, the daisy has always been associated with purity, simplicity, and joy. Since ancient times, it has been the subject of legends and popular traditions, often linked to naive love and sincere feelings ("he loves me, he loves me not"). Adding a daisy to your garden or balcony means bringing a flower steeped in history and positive meaning into your home, capable of instantly creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
