Erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican Fleabane) is a charming semi-evergreen perennial that forms soft mats of wiry stems and grey-green foliage. From early summer through autumn, it produces masses of small, daisy-like flowers that open white before gradually turning pink and purple, creating a delightful multi-coloured effect.
Hardy, low-maintenance, and versatile, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. Perfect for cascading over walls, edging paths, or filling rock gardens, this resilient groundcover is highly valued for its long flowering season and informal cottage garden charm.
