About this plant

  • Description

    A charming and free-flowering perennial covered in masses of daisy-like blooms that open white and gradually age to soft pink. Its informal trailing habit and exceptionally long flowering season make it perfect for softening walls, paving, borders and container edges.

  • Why we like it

    Erigeron karvinskianus is loved for its effortless charm and incredible flowering performance, producing clouds of delicate blooms for months on end with very little maintenance. Its relaxed habit makes it especially useful for spilling over walls, edging pathways and filling sunny gaps with soft natural colour.

Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny position. Ideal for gravel gardens, wall crevices, paving gaps and containers. Water regularly while establishing, then only during prolonged dry periods.

Care tips

Trim lightly after the main flush of flowering to encourage fresh blooms and prevent plants becoming too untidy. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed.

Winter care

Trim back lightly in late winter or early spring to refresh growth and maintain a tidy shape. Avoid overly wet winter conditions where possible, especially in heavier soils.
