English daisy (Bellis perennis)
Family: Asteraceae
This perennial daisy is native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. It has been cultivated for centuries as an ornamental plant and as an herbal remedy. A hardy and durable plant, it has become a problematic weed in gardens and lawns. It has escaped from cultivation throughout the world's temperate regions and is invasive in some areas. Many cultivars of Bellis perennis are less aggressive and easier to control. These sometimes have larger, more showy flower heads, and some are pink or deep red.
