Daisy - Deji (English spelling) daisy

Japanese: デージー - でーじー(英語表記)daisy
Daisy - Deji (English spelling) daisy

A perennial plant of the Asteraceae family. Its Japanese name is daisy (Hinagiku). Native to western Europe, it was introduced to Japan in the early Meiji period. It is often grown in flower beds and pots, but is an indispensable plant in spring flower beds, and is also called Enmeigiku (prolonged life chrysanthemum) because its flowers continue to bloom for a long time. The leaves grow at the base of the plant, are spatula-shaped or obovate, have a stalk, are 3 to 5 centimeters long, and are soft and hairy. In spring, flower stalks about 10 centimeters high emerge one after another from between the leaves, and bear a single flower head at the end. The flower head is a tubular flower with yellow centers and ray-shaped flowers around the edges. In addition to single flowers, many horticultural varieties have double flowers, and the flower diameter ranges from small, about 2 centimeters, to large, over 7 centimeters. The flower colors include red, pink, and white.

It grows well in any type of fertile soil. It is relatively resistant to cold, but is vulnerable to summer heat and dryness, and plants often die during the summer, so it is propagated by sowing seeds every year. Seeds are sown in rows in boxes or seedbeds in August and September, and seedlings are planted in flower beds or small pots in October. Plants that survive the summer can be divided in the fall.

Japanese:

キク科の多年草。和名ヒナギク(雛菊)。ヨーロッパ西部の原産で、日本には明治初年に渡来した。花壇および鉢植えにして観賞されるが、春の花壇には欠かせない植物で、花が長く咲き続けるので、エンメイギク(延命菊)ともよばれる。葉は根際に着生し、へら形または倒卵形で柄があり、長さ3~5センチメートル、柔毛がある。春、葉の間から次々に高さ10センチメートル内外の花茎を出し、先端に1個の頭花をつける。頭花は周辺が舌状花で中心が黄色の管状花からなり、一重咲きのほか、園芸品種には八重咲きのものが多く、花径は2センチメートル程度の小輪から、7センチメートル以上になる大輪咲きまである。花色は赤、桃、白色などである。

 肥えた土壌ならどんな土質でもよく育つ。寒さには比較的強いが、夏の暑さと乾燥には弱く、夏の間に株を枯らすことが多いので、毎年種子を播(ま)いて殖やす。種子は8~9月に箱または苗床に条(すじ)播きにし、10月中に苗を花壇や小鉢に定植する。夏を越した株は秋に株分けを行う。
