Cicely Mary Barker's Double Daisy Fairy

Dahlias and Delphiniums,
you're too tall for me;
Isn't there a little flower
I can choose for D?

In the smallest flower-bed
Double Daisy lifts his head,
With a smile to greet the sun,
You, and me, and everyone.

Crimson Daisy, now I see
You're the little lad for me!

Daisies are wonderful flowers for flowerbeds and a great cut flower.  They are perennial in cool climates and thrive in good garden soil with full sun or part shade.  Propagate from seed or by division.
