Overview
Erigeron karvinskianus, commonly known as fleabane, is a vigorous and reliable perennial prized for its exceptionally long flowering season. Producing a profusion of small daisy-like flowers that open white and age to soft pink and multicoloured shades, it forms an attractive clumping and spreading mound of semi-evergreen foliage. Thriving in dry, sunny spots with free-draining conditions, this low-maintenance plant is ideal for softening the edges of borders, filling gaps in walls, or displaying in containers.
