English daisy was first introduced as an attractive ornamental. It soon escaped the flower garden and became a smothering, suffocating turf weed. The leaves of this perennial vary from nearly smooth to hairy. They are rounded, slightly toothed, narrow at the base and form an extremely dense cluster. The flowering stalks, which are three or four inches tall, have typical daisy-like flowers. The outside ray petals are white to pinkish-white, while the centers, or disc flowers, are bright yellow. English daisy is capable of forming extensive patches in a very short time.
