Overview
Erigeron karvinskianus, commonly known as fleabane or Mexican fleabane, is an exceptionally long-flowering perennial prized for its effortless beauty and versatile, clumping and spreading habit. From May through to October, it produces a profusion of small daisy-like flowers in shades of white, pink and multicolour, creating a charming multi-toned effect against semi-evergreen foliage. Reaching a mature height of 40 cm with a spread of 60 cm, this fast-growing perennial forms a low, spreading mound that cascades gracefully over container rims, dry stone walls, or border edges.

- Charming daisy flowers transition through shades of white and pink for a continuous colour display.
- Brings valuable pollinator support for bees and butterflies.
