How to say "daisy" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • nounA loanword for daisy, usable for the familiar flower, especially in casual or imported contexts such as flower names in products and pop culture. It is less common than the native term, so ひなぎく is often the better everyday word.
  • nounThe native word for the common daisy (Bellis perennis), the small white-petaled lawn flower. This is the typical way to refer to that plant in Japanese, and is usually written in kana alone.
    あちこちにヒナギクが群生ぐんせいしている。↗
    There are clumps of daisies here and there.
  • nounRefers to a different plant, daisy fleabane (Erigeron annuus), which resembles the daisy but is a distinct species. It is seldom the word for an ordinary daisy, so reserve it for that specific flower; usually written in kana alone.

For the common lawn daisy, 「ひなぎく」 is the usual choice; 「デイジー」 is a loanword for the same flower; 「ひめじょおん」 refers instead to daisy fleabane, a different plant.
