Erigeron karvinskianus is a soft, airy perennial that produces masses of small daisy like flowers from late spring right through to autumn. The blooms open white and gently age to soft pink, creating a natural, relaxed mix of colour. It is perfect for trailing over walls, edging paths, filling gaps in borders or tumbling through gravel and steps. Loved in cottage gardens and naturalistic planting schemes, this easy grower spreads steadily and provides months of gentle colour and movement.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once potted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away and water gently if the compost feels dry. Pot the plug into a small pot using fresh compost and keep the compost lightly moist while the roots establish. Once the plant has grown on and the risk of frost has passed, it can be planted into the garden where it will develop into a healthy, long lasting perennial.
