Erigeron karvinskianus is a fully hardy perennial, most notable for its energetic display of colour-changing daisies.
Plants form a low mound of grey-green leaves followed by an abundant display of small daisy flowers which open white before turning an eye-catching pinkish-purple, creating an ever-changing display of blooms with an unusual two-tone effect.
Perfect for informal, relaxed garden settings, erigeron will fill your garden, pots and baskets with blossom from May to the first frosts, that's 6 months of colour EVERY YEAR!
Also known as Mexican Fleabane, this amazingly versatile little gem is happy in sun or partial shade and thrives in any well-drained soil and is even happy in dry Mediterranean or gravel gardens. It really is an all-purpose plant, which is supported by its many awards, including the RHS Award of Garden Merit, which means it has been rigorously tested and declared a perfect garden plant - so you can be sure that it will perform.
A multi-purpose garden filler, try using erigeron as an edging plant in your garden borders and paths, as an exuberant container plant, or even planted in the cracks in paving. Being a native of Mexico, it really doesn't mind a bit of drought when established.
As well as the AGM, erigeron is recommended by the RHS as a Plant for Pollinators as it is a magnet for butterflies and bees so makes a really great addition to a wildlife garden.
Supplied as 3 x 9cm potted plants ready to be planted out when all risk of frost is passed.
Dead-head faded blooms to keep plants flowering. Divide every 2-3 years to maintain the vigour of the clump.
These blooms die right back underground in the winter, but will re-emerge with fresh growth the following year.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
