Erigeron karvinskianus – Mexican Fleabane
Erigeron karvinskianus, commonly known as Mexican Fleabane, is a charming, free-flowering perennial that creates a frothy haze of tiny, daisy-like blooms from late spring to autumn. Each flower opens white and gradually blushes to pale pink, giving the plant a soft, ever-changing tapestry of color.
Reaching 6–12 inches in height and spreading up to 24 inches wide, it forms a low, airy mound of fine green foliage that spills gracefully over walls, through paving cracks, or along border edges. Its long flowering season and self-seeding habit make it perfect for naturalistic, cottage-style, or Mediterranean gardens.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Erigeron karvinskianus is highly drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. It pairs beautifully with roses, lavender, and ornamental grasses, adding a relaxed, informal charm to plantings.
Light trimming after the first flush can encourage fresh blooms and keep plants looking neat.
Flowering Period
May: First blooms appear, white with a hint of blush
June – September: Peak display, a continual mix of white and soft pink daisies
October: Late flowers linger before frost, foliage remains neat
With its delicate beauty, generous flowering, and ability to thrive in challenging spots, Erigeron karvinskianus is a dependable, low-care plant that brings effortless charm from spring right through to autumn.
