About this plant

A soft haze of white and pink, spring to autumn

Description
Erigeron karvinskianus 'Sea of Blossom' is a low, spreading perennial smothered in masses of small daisy flowers over an exceptionally long season. The blooms open white with a yellow centre and gradually age to soft pink and lilac, giving a pretty two-tone effect across the whole plant. Its airy, mounding habit weaves through borders and spills over walls, paving and container edges, softening hard landscaping while drawing in bees and butterflies.
Why we like it
“
Few plants work as hard for as long. 'Sea of Blossom' produces a haze of colour-shifting daisies for months on end, weaving happily through gaps, over edges and along paving with a relaxed, natural feel. It is easy to grow, drought-tolerant once established, and quietly ties a planting scheme together.

Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or early autumn in a sunny, well-drained spot. Water well during establishment, especially in containers. Allow space for it to spread naturally into edges, cracks or along borders.

Care tips

Trim lightly after the first flush to keep plants neat and encourage repeat flowering. Divide every few years if clumps become congested. Avoid overly rich or waterlogged conditions.

Winter care

Leave growth in place through winter for light protection, then trim back in early spring. Ensure plants are not sitting in cold, wet soil, especially in containers.
