When do daisies bloom? Usually from early spring through summer, daisies pop up just when you need a little optimism and sunshine in your life.
How are daisies used? More than just a pretty face, daisies have found their way into teas, herbal remedies, and skincare. But most famously, they star in the timeless “He loves me, he loves me not” game. Well, because who hasn’t used a daisy to settle matters of the heart (or at least pretend to)?
