Flowers begin to bloom in mid spring, sometimes as late as May, with white petals and yellow centres giving 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 until 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 where plentiful, bright blooms can be appreciated from spring all the way until autumn. Masses of beautiful flowers are also great for attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinators to your garden. These plants will be supplied at a height of 5-10cm.
This guide is for gardeners seeking a long-blooming, attractive plant. The Erigeron Karvinskianus Sea of Blossom provides a profusion of daisy-like flowers from spring to autumn, attracting pollinators. However, it's worth noting that in colder climates, the foliage may die back in winter, but will regrow in spring.
