How to Choose the Best Daisies for Your Home or Garden
Daisies are timeless, cheerful flowers that brighten any home, garden, or bouquet. With their simple charm and wide range of colors, they’re a favorite choice for both casual and elegant spaces. But with so many daisy varieties available, choosing the right ones can be tricky. Here’s how to pick the best daisies for your home or garden — straight from the experts at Tooka Florist Vancouver.
1. Start with Your Purpose
Before you buy daisies, decide how you’ll use them.
- For home décor or floral arrangements: Choose daisies with long, sturdy stems that last longer in vases.
- For your garden: Opt for perennial daisies that bloom year after year and thrive in Vancouver’s mild coastal climate.
Knowing your purpose will help narrow down your options and ensure lasting beauty.
2. Choose the Right Daisy Type
Each daisy variety has its own look and personality:
- Shasta Daisies: Classic white petals with sunny yellow centers — ideal for garden borders.
- African Daisies (Osteospermum): Bright, bold colors perfect for adding a tropical vibe.
- English Daisies: Smaller and more compact, great for containers or flower beds.
If you want something vibrant and long-lasting, African or Shasta daisies are your best bet for the Vancouver climate.
3. Select the Perfect Color
The color of your daisies sets the mood:
- White: Clean, classic, and timeless.
- Yellow or Orange: Energetic and cheerful — ideal for sunny spaces.
- Pink or Red: Romantic tones that add warmth and depth to any setting.
Mixing colors creates a dynamic, eye-catching display that transitions beautifully through the seasons.
4. Check Stem Length and Health
When buying cut daisies, inspect the stems and leaves. Look for:
- Strong, upright stems (no drooping).
- Bright green foliage without spots or yellowing.
- Fresh blooms that aren’t fully open yet — they’ll last longer indoors.
Longer stems are more versatile for vases, while shorter ones suit compact centerpieces.
5. Shop Smart — Choose Quality Daisies
Healthy daisies are the key to long-lasting arrangements. Avoid any that show signs of wilting, pests, or mold.
