Classic Daisy Types You Should Know

Daisies are an often-overlooked flower; too often, we place high value on roses and other regal blooms. However, daisies appear in many bouquets and arrangements, both humble and highly classy. Daisies are versatile and are closely associated with joy, making them perfect for a multitude of floral applications.

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum)

One of the most recognizable daisies, Shasta daisies feature bright white petals and a golden centre. Loved for their cheerful look and long blooming season, they’re commonly seen in gardens and are known for their tall, sturdy stems.

Gerbera Daisy (Gerbera jamesonii)

Gerbera daisies are bold, vibrant, and instantly eye-catching. Available in shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, and even bi-colours, they bring a burst of colour to bouquets and arrangements. Their large blooms also make them popular as potted plants.

Miniature & Pompon Daisies

Miniature and pompon-style daisies produce smaller, button-like blooms rather than large, open flowers. Available in a wide range of colours, including bi-colours, they’re often used to add playful pops of colour or soft texture to both bouquets and arrangements.

Why Choose the Humble Daisy?

Daisies are often familiar but underestimated. While many people recognize a single daisy, fewer imagine the impact multiple varieties can have when combined in a thoughtfully designed bouquet or arrangement.

Available in many shapes, sizes, and colours, daisies help fill space, add warmth, and introduce a sense of lightness and charm. They work equally well as filler flowers or as standout elements in mixed designs.
