Product description

Erigeron Karvinskianus Sea of Blossom is a semi-evergreen perennial garden plant with bright green leaves growing on wiry stems. Flowers begin to bloom in mid spring, sometimes as late as May, with white petals and yellow centres giving the blooms a daisy-like appearance. As the flowers mature, they change to shades of pinkish purple, creating a two tone ombre effect.

One of this plant’s most attractive features is the long flowering period, with flowers continuing to bloom all the way into autumn, creating a profusion of blooms in the garden for a large part of the year. In colder areas, frost can kill the foliage over winter, but the plants will regrow from shoots in the spring.

These Erigeron Karvinskianus are perfect for planting along the edge of a pathway or adding to beds and borders. They also grow well in pots and containers. Plant Mexican Fleabane in full sun in well-draining soil and water lightly but regularly for the first year. Once fully established, Sea of Blossom is drought tolerant, however, for the best show of flowers, don’t let the soil dry out for too long during hot spells of weather. In early spring cut the foliage back to ground level to make way for the new fresh growth to emerge.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Instructions

Top Tip

Deadhead Erigeron regularly to encourage continuous blooming. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils, making it ideal for rock gardens or borders.

How to Water

Water newly planted Erigeron regularly until established. Once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells, as they prefer dry to moderately moist soil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

How to Plant

Plant Erigeron in well-drained soil with full sun to light shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart. Prepare the soil by loosening it, and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the plant, backfill, and gently firm the soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
