Mexican fleabane
Erigeron karvinskianus, the Mexican fleabane, is a delightful semi-evergreen perennial that brings a touch of whimsy to any garden. Growing into neat mats that reach around 20-30cm in height, this hardy plant forms the perfect backdrop for a range of other garden favourites. The daisy-like flowers start off as bright white, then gradually turn pink, and even purple as summer progresses. This ever-changing colour palette makes Erigeron karvinskianus a captivating plant, offering a dynamic show of blooms that shift in the season.
With its ability to thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, Erigeron karvinskianus is as easy-going as it is lovely.

This variety’s charm hasn’t gone unnoticed, earning it the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its resilience and beauty. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for borders, ground cover, or containers, while its dainty flowers also attract pollinators, making it a perfect addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
