Bellis perennis is a perennial, early-flowering bedding plant.  Robella was awarded the Fleuroselect Gold Medal in 1994 for the most attractive and the largest flowers of its sort. Bellis perennis `Robella' was the first real perennial to be awarded a Gold Medal by Fleuroselect. (This honour has been given a number of times to pansies.) It is now possible to plant out completely a splendid, flowering, spring garden with only Fleuroselect varieties. `Robella' really deserves a central place in your spring garden, not only because of its striking beauty, but also because of the comparative obscurity of Bellis.
