Erigeron karvinskianus – Mexican Fleabane
Erigeron karvinskianus is a charming and long-flowering perennial, valued for its masses of delicate daisy-like flowers that appear continuously from late spring well into autumn. The small blooms open white before gradually blushing pink with age, creating a soft two-tone effect that brings movement and colour to walls, paths, containers, and sunny borders.
Reaching around 20–30 cm in height with a spread of 40–60 cm, this low-growing plant forms loose, spreading mounds of fine green foliage. Its naturally relaxed habit allows it to spill beautifully over edges, trail from raised beds, or self-seed gently into cracks and gravel, giving a natural cottage-garden feel.
The abundance of flowers makes it highly attractive to bees and other pollinators throughout the season. Erigeron karvinskianus is particularly effective softening paving, edging pathways, filling gaps at the front of borders, or cascading from pots and baskets.
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, tolerating dry conditions once established. It is easy to grow, low maintenance, and benefits from an occasional trim or light tidy after heavy flowering to keep plants fresh and encourage continued blooms.
Flowering Period
May – June: First flush of white daisy flowers begins
June – September: Continuous flowering with blooms fading from white to soft pink
Autumn: Flowers continue well into the season in mild conditions
With its exceptionally long flowering season, relaxed habit, and effortless charm, Erigeron karvinskianus is an excellent low-maintenance plant for adding colour and softness to sunny gardens and containers.
