Erigeron karvinskianus 2 Ltr pot

Erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican fleabane) is a mat-forming, long-flowering perennial for sunny, well-drained spots, ideal for rockeries, wall edges, path cracks and containers. From late spring into autumn it carries masses of small daisy flowers that open white and age to soft pink, creating a two-tone effect that’s very attractive to pollinators. Thrives in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soils (including chalk), copes with dry sun once established, and will often seed gently into crevices for a natural look. Height and spread to around 50cm x 1m.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
