Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion'

Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion' is a free-flowering, semi-evergreen perennial forming low, airy mounds that spill attractively from cracks and edges. From early summer into autumn it bears masses of small daisies that open white and age to soft pink, creating a two-tone effect over many months. Ideal for softening steps, old walls, path edges and containers in Ireland, it thrives in well-drained, poorer to moderately fertile soils in full sun or light shade. Fast to establish, excellent for pollinators, and tolerant of drier spots once established; shear lightly to tidy after peak flushes if required.

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.
