Description - RHS Award of Garden Merit. This is a perennial forming wide mats to 15cm in height, with masses of small daisies, emerging white, then turning pink, with yellow centres, give this plant an unusual, two-tone effect. It has a long flowering period, from May to October, and is amazingly versatile, being low-growing, happy in sun or partial shade and thriving in any well-drained soil. It's also tolerant of coastal conditions.
Bees and butterflies love all erigerons, so they make a wonderful addition to a wildlife garden, too.
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
Pet friendly - no toxic effects reported.
