They shine on us like little suns. The daisy flowers are simply adorable and are reminiscent of wild flower meadows from childhood. However, they don't like to be completely alone. They are sociable and are happy to have suitable plant neighbors nearby.
How can you combine daisies with other plants?
Daisies can be combined well with summer bloomers such as poppies, cornflowers, roses, lupins or delphiniums, which have similar location requirements and growth heights. Daisies and hussar buttons go well together in the pot. In a vase they can be arranged with roses, cranesbill or yarrow.
What factors should you consider when combining daisies?
To emphasize the fine, natural and cheerful expression of daisies, you should make sure of the following factors when choosing companion plants:
- Flower color: white, rarely pink, red or violet
- Flowering time: May to August
- Location requirements: sunny, well-drained and slightly acidic to neutral soil
- Growth height: 50 to 100 cm
Daisies reach their peak season in summer. For this reason, plants that are in their full glory in summer are particularly suitable for them.
Daisies like to be pampered by the sun. Your planting partners should feel just as comfortable there. It is also important to make sure that the combination neighbors prefer permeable soil.
When combining daisies, consider their height. They are most impressive when combined with similarly sized plants.
Combine daisies in the bed or in the bucket
Daisies can become true treasures in beds in natural and cottage gardens. Thanks to their simplicity, they fit in alongside numerous perennials. It looks very nice to combine them with summer bloomers that appear just as light, such as poppies or cornflowers. In addition, daisies can lighten up flowers that seem rather heavy with their dynamism.
The following go wonderfully with daisies, among other things:
- Poppy
- Cornflowers
- Roses
- Lupins
- larkspur
- Coneflower
- Hussar Buttons
- Phlox
Combine daisies with poppies
An interplay of plants in summer could hardly seem more wildly romantic, fresh and light. Daisies and poppies seem to literally dance together. They present their flowers at the same time and standing next to each other - ideally mixed - creating a breathtaking eye-catcher. The white of the daisies forms the perfect backdrop for the bright red poppies.
Combine daisies with lupins
Lupins have similar location requirements and with their intense flower color they stand out clearly in the presence of daisies and catch the eye. The contrast created by the two is exciting. It is best to plant red or violet-blue lupins near several daisies.
Combine daisies with hussar buttons
Daisies also look great in a pot. They can be easily combined with smaller plants. The hussar buttons go perfectly with the daisies. While the daisies are in the middle, the little hussar buttons really bloom on the edge.
Combine daisies as a bouquet in the vase
A bouquet of daisies seems playful and natural at the same time. For example, the roses in the bouquet, which can sometimes seem a bit strict and haughty, can benefit from being combined with daisies. Red roses in particular are ideal for this. In addition, purple, yellow, red and orange flowers are particularly suitable for combining with daisies in the vase.
