Bellis perennis
Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the archetypal species of that name.
This daisy may be used as a potherb. Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked, noting that the leaves become increasingly astringent with age. Flower buds and petals can be eaten raw in sandwiches, soups and salads. It is also used as a tea and as a vitamin supplement.
