18 flowers similar to daisies - description and characteristics of plants

Anacyclus

The plant really strongly resembles chamomile in appearance. The variety has about 10 subspecies , which are annual and perennial. The petals of the opened bud have a double color: they are white on the inside and pink on the outside. The flower reaches a diameter of 5 cm.

Basically, the varieties look like small bushes creeping along the ground. As a member of the aster family, anacyclus is subject to the solar rhythm: it opens at dawn and closes during sunset.

Chamomile, green and golden

The most famous type of chamomile is the chamomile, which is scientifically called Matricaria chamomilla. Its leaves are very small, simple, sessile with pinnately dissected venation. Knowledge of these features helps to distinguish the plant from species with similar inflorescences.

The leaves of true chamomile are similar to dill leaves.

The size of chamomile inflorescences is about 2.5 cm in diameter. There are two types of flowers in its basket. On the convex receptacle, which as the bush ages, takes on an almost conical shape, there are small yellow flowers with a simple perianth. White reed flowers grow along the outer contour of the receptacle, the number of which is usually 12 or 18 pieces.

At the moment of flowering, the chamomile bush looks like this:

Inflorescences similar in color combinations are found in odorless chamomile, some types of navels (including dog chamomile and field chamomile), Roman chamomile, some pyrethrums and tansy.

Chamomile belongs to the genus Matricaria, which includes only 25 plants. They are considered true daisies, while other plants are called that only in common parlance, having other names.

Most species of Matricaria are characterized by the same structure of inflorescences and a combination of only yellow and white flowers. The exceptions are green chamomile, which is also called fragrant or tongueless, and in the scientific community - Matricaria discoidea, and golden chamomile - Matricaria aurea.

The green inflorescences contain only tubular flowers, which, as the name suggests, are green in color. It has no edge “petals” at all. The plant is also distinguished by a strong specific smell and the small height of the bushes. As a rule, they grow to only 20-30 cm. As can be seen from the photograph, in appearance they are very different from chamomile bushes:

The golden chamomile is quite similar to this species. It differs from green mainly only in the color of the inflorescences, which in this plant is yellow. The diameter of the inflorescences is very small - no more than 0.8 cm, and the height of the bushes is about 25 cm. An important feature of the species is that flower baskets can grow singly, and not in corymbose inflorescences, as in most other representatives of the genus Matricaria.

Arctotis

A rather tall crop, which sometimes grows up to 130 cm. In difficult conditions, the flower develops poorly and grows only up to 25 cm. The species is divided into two subspecies: stochafolium and hybrid.

Both named subspecies are characterized by unusual buds with petals colored red or bronze at the center with a gradual transition to yellow. The buds open only in sunny weather, and you won’t be able to admire them in the rain.

Plants with colorful inflorescences

Some plants have multicolored inflorescences. Often 2-3, and sometimes even more, shades are combined on one petal. Thanks to this, the plants look very impressive and exotic.

Multi-colored daisies are called:

• Gaillardia spinosa;
• Osteospermum;
• Gazania;
• Venidium;
• Arctotis;
• Ursinia umbilicus and other similar flowers.

Gaillardia spinosa is a perennial shrub whose stem height reaches 90 cm. The diameter of the flower baskets is usually from 7 to 12 cm. The tubular flowers located in the center are dark red or burgundy in color. The petals of this plant are three-toothed. Along the outer edge they are colored yellow, and closer to the middle - red or purple. In some varieties they are arranged in several rows.

Gaillardia bushes look like this:

This plant is sometimes confused with helenium, some varieties of which have almost the same color of flower baskets.

Many varieties of osteospermum are also often called colored chamomile. Their inflorescences can combine a variety of shades: pink, white, red, lilac and others.

Here the photo shows osteospermum tricolor:

An abundance of color variations is also inherent in gazania. Its inflorescences are very large, and its petals are pointed. They can combine 3-4 color shades at once. The photographs show some plant varieties:

On a note

Gazania and osteospermum are often grown not only in open ground, but also in pots. Their bright inflorescences and long flowering period make them a wonderful home decoration. You can grow these flowers either from seeds or by purchasing seedlings. Their prices are much higher than for seeds, however, according to reviews, they almost always take root well.

Venidium boasts even larger and brighter flower baskets. Their diameter ranges from 10 to 14 cm, and the height of the bushes can reach 80 cm. Its reed flowers have pointed or rounded edges. They come in white, yellow, orange, red and some other colors. Moreover, in almost all varieties the center is black, and around it, on the edge flowers, a ring of a contrasting color is outlined - brown, burgundy or purple.

A similar color is found in Arctotis. Some varieties also develop a ring of a different color around the core. At the same time, its petals are more pointed, and the diameter of the baskets is slightly smaller.

Here the photo shows Venidium bushes:

And here is arctotis:

And this is Ursinia umbilicalis:

As can be seen from the photograph, its marginal flowers are colored at the base in a rich brown color, which gradually turns into burgundy, and then into bright orange.

Venidium

These are white, pink, orange or yellow flowers similar to daisies. They have a brown or dark red core. When open, the bud reaches 10 cm in diameter , and the length of the stem is between 70-80 cm. The species is rarely grown in open ground, more often it can be found in home pots and flowerpots. Flowering begins at the end of June and continues until the end of September.

Yellow daisies

Many other types of aster plants also have the inflorescence structure characteristic of daisies. Because of this, they are also often called daisies, adding an epithet to describe their color. Thus, many plants are popularly called yellow daisies, while such a term does not appear in the scientific community.

Without knowing the correct names, yellow daisies are most often called:

• Doronicum orientalis;
• Coreopsis;
• Rudbeckia;
• Erigeron linearis;
• Ursinia is beautiful;
• Helenium and some other plants.
• Doronicum eastern.

Its inflorescences are larger than those of daisies, and the marginal flowers are yellow or golden in color. The plant is perennial.

The same color is found in some species of coreopsis. Moreover, the cores of these plants can be not only yellow, but also brown or burgundy. Their reed flowers, as a rule, have jagged edges.

These photographs show several species of coreopsis:

Terry coreopsis

Various types of rudbeckia are also called yellow daisies, among which there are both annuals and perennials. Among the latter, the most common is the brilliant rudbeckia, which is characterized by a tall stem and large inflorescences. The shrubs reach a height of 60 cm, and the diameter of their inflorescences is 8-10 cm. Their petals are bright yellow and velvety to the touch, and the center is dark brown.

In flower beds and gardens you can often find hairy rudbeckia. This is an annual bush plant, smaller in size than the brilliant rudbeckia. It also differs in the color of the marginal flowers. Along the outer contour they are yellow, and in the middle they are dark burgundy or brown, as in the photo below:

Here the photo shows a beautiful Ursinia:

This annual is similar to rudbeckia in the color of the marginal flowers, but differs in the height of the bushes, which does not exceed 30 cm. Because of this, it is sometimes called small-flowered yellow daisy.

Of the wild plants, yellow daisies are called Erigeron lineart. This is a low-growing perennial shrub, the height of which is no more than 20 cm. Its inflorescences are also small - from 1 to 2 cm in diameter. They grow one at a time on separate stems.

Some types of helenium are also called. They differ in the height of the stems, which can grow up to 160 cm. At the same time, the diameter of the inflorescences rarely exceeds 5 cm. The most characteristic color for them is yellow, but cultivated varieties also have brown and purple shades. Very often helenium can be found in flower beds along with daylilies and lilies.

There are a lot of plants that resemble yellow daisies. In addition, sometimes even flowers that have more different than similar features are called this way, for example, gerberas, large-flowered chrysanthemums and asters.

Gatsania

The flower has an incredible variety of shades: yellow, lilac, red, orange, etc. There are also two-color and striped varieties. Externally, gatsaniya really resembles a chamomile, only with brighter and more colorful petals. Gradient varieties, where one color gradually gives way to another, do not allow you to take your eyes off the bush.

Under natural conditions, there are about 40 species that are resistant to frost, direct sunlight, drought and high temperatures. Flowering starts at the beginning of summer and continues until night frosts. The height of the bush is within 30-40 cm. The flower retains its appearance for a long time after cutting.

Gatsania is grown in open ground, pots and flowerpots. It combines well with other plants in the flowerbed and looks impressive when planted alone. The species is used to decorate paths, borders and rock gardens.

Common varieties grown by breeders

Over the years of work, breeders have managed to develop many colored daisies that are distinguished by their excellent decorative properties. The most popular and widespread plants include:

• pyrethrum;
• osteospermum;
• Felice;
• doronicum;
• gatsaniya;
• echinacea;
• arctotis.

Many people are interested in what yellow daisies are called. There are quite a few species of such plants, but most often we are talking about Doronicum.

This is not a complete list of crops that are similar in flower structure to ordinary garden daisies. Each plant has its own botanical features and characteristics.

With a black center

Arctotis is considered one of the most famous multi-colored daisies. It is very similar to an ordinary garden chamomile.

The flower includes white petals and a black center with a yellow ring around it. The main difference between the culture is the very large size of the flowers.

Arctotis is a beautiful flower with a dark center.

With a brown center

One of the most popular and famous daisy-like flowers is the gerbera. It is often grown in summer cottages for cutting and arranging bouquets. The plant blooms until mid-August. The height of the crop reaches 70 cm.

The center of the flower is usually brown. In this case, the petals can have different shades. The culture is considered very unpretentious and can easily withstand winter cold.

Another type of colored daisies with a brown center is Venidium. It has yellow petals. The flowers reach a diameter of 10 cm. At the same time, the stems grow up to 70-80 cm.

There are varieties of Venidium with different petal colors. They can be white, pink or orange.

This plant is rarely found in gardens. Most often it is grown in pots or flowerpots. The flowering of the crop lasts from the end of July until the beginning of frost.

Venidium is a beautiful chamomile with a brown center.

Gatsania

This plant comes in many colors. The petals of such daisies are lilac, red, and orange. There are also varieties in which one tone gradually turns into another.

More than 40 varieties of gazania are found in nature. They are resistant to frost and drought. Low-growing bushes 30-40 cm in size are planted not only in open ground, but also in boxes or pots.

Doronicum

This is a perennial crop that has triangular foliage of a rich emerald color. The height of the bushes varies depending on the variety. It can range from 30 cm to 1 m.

The flowers have a yellowish-orange hue and reach a diameter of 6-10 cm.

After cutting, the flowers retain their appearance for a long time. That’s why they are often used to make bouquets and combine with other plants.

Rudbeckia

A popular crop that looks like large daisies with dark brown stamens and a few yellow petals.

The plant is characterized by later flowering, which begins in the second half of August or September. Culture can become a real decoration of any autumn flower bed.

The height of rudbeckia depends on the variety and can range from 50 cm to 2 m. The petals most often have a yellow tint. However, pink, cream, and orange flowers are sometimes found.

Pyrethrum

The shape of the flowers of the plant is very reminiscent of cornflower and daisies. Its white varieties are easily confused with them.

At the same time, pyrethrum can have different shades - purple, lilac, crimson, pink. Some varieties of the plant are called Persian and Caucasian chamomile.

The culture reaches a height of 60 cm. It has pinnately dissected leaves of a rich green color. The flower basket of the plant does not exceed 6 cm in diameter. The culture is very popular among gardeners because it has a decorative appearance and is undemanding to care.

Caucasian chamomile pyrethrum

Other

Multi-colored daisies have many other varieties. They all differ in color, size and botanical characteristics. Popular garden crops include:

• Nivyanik - this plant resembles chamomile more than others. The culture is popularly called large or giant chamomile. This genus includes no more than 20 plants. The most popular representative is the largest cornflower. Its hybrids can grow up to 1 m in height. Beautiful terry varieties that have unusually shaped petals are considered even higher.
• Calendula - this plant is considered very popular. It is low maintenance. Culture belongs to the Astrov family and is considered one of its most widespread representatives. These orange daisies are characterized by different sizes. Low-growing varieties have a height of 20-30 cm, and tall varieties - 60-65. The advantage of calendula is the possibility of active reproduction by self-seeding.
• Helichrysum - this crop is characterized by grayish stems and leaves. Moreover, it has white buds. The bush does not exceed 10 cm in height, but has a large width - 45-50 cm. The flowering period of the crop lasts from June to August. It can be annual or perennial. The most common varieties of helichrysums include awl-leaved, bract-shaped, and helmet-shaped.
• Cosmea is a tall relative of daisies. Its stems reach a height of 70-150 cm. The plant often propagates by self-seeding and is distinguished by its low maintenance requirements and decorative appearance. In addition, cosmos are not afraid of wind and frost. It can grow even in poor and depleted soil. Today there are more than 20 types of this culture. Its flowers resemble pink, red, lilac, and white daisies.
• Echinacea - This plant has different shades. Breeders offer gardeners pink, crimson, white, orange, yellow, and greenish shades. The centers differ in the shape of a hemisphere and sometimes stand out significantly against the background of the petals. Echinaceas are characterized by smooth growth and long life expectancy.

Pyrethrum is a bright and low-maintenance flower.

Gerbera

The plant is similar in structure to a chamomile, but has purple, yellow, cherry, orange, cream and classic white petals. Such diversity attracts gardeners; resistance to adverse conditions, as well as wide possibilities for use in bouquets, also play an important role.

There are double gerberas, and their numerous petals are tubular, curly and pointed. The species is grown outdoors and at home. Flowering starts in the summer months and lasts until November. The exact dimensions of the bush and the open bud depend on the variety.

Caring for pericallis at home

Pericallises are very beautiful and showy. But they never became super popular indoor plants; and even today, despite their beauty, they are considered crops more for amateurs. This is explained very simply: pericallis requires conditions that are difficult to recreate in ordinary rooms. In order to admire its flowering, you will have to take care of a cool environment. And the need to constantly maintain high air humidity does not simplify the growing process.

This is a capricious beauty for those flower growers who are ready to fulfill all his requirements. After flowering, pericallises are thrown away; even if they try to save them for the next year, these hybrids do not bloom, and most often die in winter.

Lighting for pericallis

For a luxurious indoor baby, you will have to provide the brightest lighting. Pericallis is not very afraid of direct sunlight (except for midday); it will happily settle on a moderately sunny windowsill or in a bright place with diffused light. Several hours of sunshine a day have a positive effect on the number and size of flowers.

For pericallises in rooms, eastern and western window sills are most suitable; if the spring is not cloudy, pericallises also grow well on the northern window sill. This plant does not like artificial lighting and reacts poorly to fluctuations in light intensity during flowering.

Comfortable temperature conditions

The most difficult thing in growing pericallis is choosing a temperature that is comfortable for it. During the flowering period, for which it is actually grown, this plant will only be comfortable in air temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius. Budding, the formation of flower buds in a plant, occurs at a temperature no higher than 15 degrees.

The optimal temperature is from 10 to 15 degrees or about 15 degrees. Indicators can drop below 10 degrees only for a short period of time (but not below 4 degrees); ordinary room temperatures are not suitable for pericallis. Pericallis loves fluctuations in day and night temperatures.

Pericallis can be placed in a cool greenhouse, on a terrace or balcony. This plant loves fresh air and tolerates low temperatures well. It can be taken out into the open air for a day even in March. Pericallis can also be used as a garden plant.

Watering pericallis and air humidity

The watering regime for this plant can be called standard. Pericallises need stable humidity. Before the next watering, you need to let the top layer of the substrate in the pots dry. Drought and waterlogging equally negatively affect flowering, but if, during overwatering, quick correction of care and increasing the intervals between waterings allow you to compensate for the error, then after the soil dries out, the pericallis most often does not recover and withers very quickly.

It is much more difficult to provide the high levels of air humidity necessary for this summer. Pericallis will delight you with flowering only at air humidity of 60%. For a plant with velvety leaves and delicate flowers, the spraying method is not suitable, unless you use a fine nozzle and spray from a considerable distance. Pericallis prefers to install humidifiers or trays with wet pebbles and moss, on which the plant is placed so that the bottom does not touch the surface of the water.

Fertilizers for pericallis

This plant blooms for a fairly limited period. If you get an ordinary pericallis that blooms in 1-1.5 months, then you don’t have to feed it. The supply of nutrients in the soil will be enough for this period. Varieties with enhanced flowering, which can last up to 4-6 months, require feeding similar to garden potted annuals.

Fertilizers for flowering plants are applied once every 2 weeks in a standard dosage or weekly in half the doses. Intensive fertilizing at the beginning of budding increases the flowering period. The plant responds well to long-acting fertilizers.

Pericallis pruning

This plant does not need any shaping: the cushion of leaves already looks very neat and attractive, and the flowering stems create a living bouquet above it without outside help. All you need to take care of is removing the faded flowers. They only spoil the attractiveness of pericallis (the plant does not clean itself, dry baskets spoil the impression of neighboring inflorescences). But don’t rush to just pinch off the daisies: pericallis needs to trim the wilted heads with sharp tools.

Transplantation and substrate

Since it is impossible to make pericallis bloom again, the plant is not replanted, and after flowering it is simply thrown away.

If pericallis is grown independently from seeds, then a universal substrate is used for it. The earth mixture should be light and loose, nutritious, and of high quality. For pericallises, a universal neutral or slightly alkaline soil mixture is suitable. Usually it is made up of equal parts of turf and leaf soil, sand and humus (1: 1: 0.25: 0.5).

Doronicum

The second name of the species is Kozulnik. There are about 40 varieties, but often only 10 are used. The height of the bush varies in different varieties from 0.5 to 1 meter. The flowers are yellow and quite large - the diameter reaches 10 cm. Flowering begins in May and lasts on average 1.5 months. At the same time, the plant can be pleased with the repeated release of buds in mid-summer or early autumn.

When cut, the flower retains its attractive appearance for a long time. You should know that the plant is poisonous. It is not recommended to plant Doronicum under trees - it will be suppressed.

What plants are most often confused with colored chamomile?

Classic chamomile is a perennial whose petals have a white tint. If there are colorful daisy-like plants growing in the garden bed, it is likely that they are gerberas. In appearance they are very similar to daisies. However, the petals of these flowers can have different shades. Thus, there are yellow, pink, purple, and crimson daisies.

Today there are several dozen varieties of gerbera. However, most of these plants are found in Madagascar and Africa.

Gerbera was first described by a scientist from Holland, Jan Gronovinus. This happened back in the eighteenth century. The botanist named this flower in honor of his friend Traugott Gerber. Subsequently, Carl Linnaeus, who systematized plants, used this name, indicating it in his works. Since the end of the nineteenth century, the crop began to be actively cultivated.

Gerberas are very similar to daisies and come in many varieties.

Like chamomile, gerbera is a perennial plant. Moreover, it is distinguished by leaves that have an elongated shape and a pointed end. The foliage grows from a basal rosette.

The flower stalks of this culture can reach a height of 60 cm. The flowers form single inflorescences in the form of baskets. Some varieties can reach a diameter of 30 cm.

Planting a plant

Gerbera/Gerbera indoor

Slightly acidic soil is best suited for growing home gerberas. Leaf soil, formed when fallen leaves rot, has a good structure and a sufficient amount of necessary acids. Such soil is not as nutritious as humus, but it is easier for thin and delicate roots to take the necessary nutrients from it. Air-permeable lumps of leaf soil have good hygroscopicity.

The pot in which you plan to grow the gerbera must also be breathable, so it is advisable to use clay products.

Gerbera propagation occurs by seeds or vegetatively, through dividing the bush and cuttings. It is better to plant seeds in spring in leafy soil with a small sand content. Planting depth is about 5 mm. Transplantation into separate pots occurs when 3-4 true leaves are formed. Under favorable conditions, about 11 months pass from sowing to flowering of home gerbera.

Diseases of indoor gerbera

A healthy plant, which receives adequate amounts of moisture, light and the necessary nutrition, is rarely subject to characteristic diseases. Lack or excess of micronutrients, violation of the watering regime, and exposure to pests cause indoor gerbera disease, caused by a decrease in protective properties. A weakened plant is unable to fight fungal infections. For home gerberas, the greatest danger is powdery mildew and mold.

Powdery mildew is a disease caused by microscopic fungi . The mycelium of the parasite has a characteristic white color and spreads over the surface of the home plant, forming a peculiar coating similar to flour. The fungus draws nutrients from the gerbera, interfering with the process of photosynthesis. The main cause of this disease is a violation of the watering regime, leading to a decrease in the immunity of the gerbera. In addition, the fungus can develop in conditions of excess nitrogen.

Gray and white mold develops in conditions of high humidity and infrequent ventilation of the room. on the soil and parts of the plant. Spores of the parasitic organism travel through the air and may be found in irrigation water. To prevent mold damage, periodic disinfection of surfaces with solutions containing insecticides is used.

Cineraria

These flowers are very famous due to the fact that their bushes are low-growing, and all the inflorescences during the flowering period form a real flowering ball:

Due to this, and also thanks to the bright multi-colored edge flowers, they are often used for street landscaping, planted along borders or as decorations in summer cottages.

Cineraria in an ensemble with other decorative flowers.

Despite the fact that both the shape of the bushes and the shape and brightness of the inflorescences of cineraria differ well from daisies, without knowing their very original name, they are named by analogy with their more well-known relatives.

Flowers of the genus Pyrethrum

In addition to the “daisy-like” pyrethrum corymbosa and feverfew, the genus Pyrethrum includes many plants that, although similar in appearance to typical daisies, are just as easily distinguished from them.

For example, Dalmatian chamomile is widely known:

Its inflorescences are larger in size than the inflorescences of chamomile, and the receptacle in its flowers is flat, not so convex.

Also notable is the Persian chamomile, which has red or pink marginal flowers:

The baskets of these plants are also large and different in size from the inflorescences of typical daisies.

Typical representatives of the genus Chamomile do not have such flowers in the coloring of inflorescences at all, which does not prevent this species from being called “red daisies”.

It is noteworthy that all plants of the genus Pyrethrum are perennials, unlike the annual typical daisies.
