I recently planted a new lawn in the UK and last year seeded it with some small-leaved clover. This year I bought some vetch seeds, I might add some native daisy seed next year.

I recently moved into a new home with a lawn that seems to have been semi-recently laid. I want to add some daisy's as I think they're pretty in a lawn.
