Overview
Erigeron 'Sea Breeze Mauve' is a compact, free-flowering perennial grown for its abundance of delicate mauve daisy-like blooms with golden centres. Flowering over a long season from late spring well into autumn, it creates a soft, natural effect while providing continuous colour in sunny gardens. Its low, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for the front of borders, gravel gardens, rockeries and patio containers, as well as for softening the edges of paths, walls and raised beds above neat green foliage.
Why We Love It
This charming, compact perennial blooms continuously from late spring into autumn, delivering masses of soft mauve flowers with bright golden centres for months on end.

|---|---|
| Watering | Water regularly while establishing, then only during extended dry spells. Once established, it copes well with short periods of dry weather, though prolonged drought may reduce flowering. |
| Feeding | A light application of balanced fertiliser in spring will encourage healthy growth and a long flowering season. |
| Pruning & Maintenance | Deadhead faded flowers regularly to encourage fresh blooms. Lightly trim the plant after the main flush of flowering to maintain a compact habit and promote continued flowering. |
