Just wanted to say that my tree and seeds arrived yesterday. I was in to meet the delivery man, who handled it very gently, so the fragile sticker worked! Beautifully packed. I unwrapped it whilst talking to it (I am sane really) and welcomed it to its new home. The rabbit loved the straw. Many many thanks

The common English daisy is so much loved; many of us will remember in our younger years making daisy chains in the garden in the good old British Summer...

For those not so familar, daisies are low growing perennial plants with pretty little white flowers with sunshine gold centres that reach approximately 15 cm tall. Pollinating insects and bees love them. A member of the Asteraceae family. They flower from Spring and throughout the Summer.
