Bellis pink daisy - confused
Hi, got lots of bellis pink daisies and used them in pots. I was just wondering wether to plant them out - will i get any next year? The internet says they are annuals, biennials and perennials ! So i am no wiser. They didnt come with a label, they are the common ones you see for sale - mixed white, light pink, dark pink, some daisy shaped, some doubles.
What do you think? Plant out or compost?

Unless you need the ground for something else I'd plant 'em out and see what happens. If they grow, great; if not you have a little compost in situ.
Does anyone know for definite?
Bellis perennis are your common or garden daisies, they are perennial. I think all those large flowered bedding daisies are cultivars of that and should be perennial as well.
However I don't grow them and it's possible they're hybrids.
If the leaves are spreading in the pot it's a perennial.
Don't let them seed as over time they will seed back to the species which some classify as a lawn weed.
