Daisies happen to be one of the best simple plants. They often grow on their own, but they are nice to have in the backyard for some color and also for simplicity. Often, you'll see these flowers thrown in a nice bouquet of flowers. They are simple and easy to grow, and that is why they are among the least expensive flower to purchase. You'll want to consider that the daisy looks good in a bed of flowers, but it is also a flower that can stand alone. They are wonderful in the gardens, but can make a huge difference to the décor of any room.

For those who are looking to become gardeners, but have not had much experience or success in the past, you'll want to pick the daisy. The daisy is one of the easiest flowers to plant and grow. Daisies are often planted by seed, but you can get many of the bigger daisies at the local nursery. Daisies will continue to multiple and grow each year. You may want to take your garden of daisies and separate some of the seedlings, because this will allow you to keep control of the growth. You'll also find that these plants will multiple at such a rate that it can begin to crowd the other plants and offspring. You'll need to separate the daisies, eventually.

As for the soil, you'll find that a good, well drained soil is needed and lots of sunshine. They look wonderful in the middle of the year, but they also make great borders. Often you'll see a sidewalk lined with daisies. Keep in mind that the seeds are easy and it's hard to kill them. They easily adapt and are great flowers to start with. It is very important that you understand that these flowers are not finicky and they do not need a lot of attention. This is why a lot of first-time gardeners will use these flowers as their main plant.

The best part of daisies is the colors that they come in. Often you'll get a few seed packets that are basically colored daisies. Keep in mind that there is nothing like keeping the landscaping of a beautiful home simple. Preferring the basic, white daisy, you would be able to bring both life and simplicity to your yard and into your home.

Daisies are one of the most sought out flowers, because they are classic and timeless. Although, they compare nothing to a rose, they make a great gift for welcomes and open houses. They also make a great flower for birthday's and other celebrations.
