Description

Erigeron karvinskianus 'Sea of Blossom' is a fully hardy perennial, most notable for its energetic displays of colour-changing daisies.

Plants form a low mound of grey-green leaves, followed by an abundant display of small daisy flowers which open white before turning an eye-catching pinkish-purple, creating an ever-changing display of blooms with an unusual two-tone effect.

Perfect for informal, relaxed garden settings, this variety fills the garden, pots, and baskets with blossom from May to the first frosts, that's six months of colour EVERY YEAR!

Also known as a Mexican Fleabane, this amazingly versatile little gem is happy in sun or partial shade and thrives in any well-drained soil, even happy in dry Mediterranean or gravel gardens. This is recommended by the RHS as a Plant for Pollinators as it is a magnet for butterflies and bees so makes a really great addition to a wildlife garden.

A multi-purpose garden filler, try using Erigeron as an edging plant in borders and paths, as an exuberant container plant, or even planted in the cracks in paving. Being a native of Mexico, it really doesn't mind a bit of drought when established.

Supplied as a set of six plug plants, ready to be potted up and grown on before being planted out when all risk of frost is passed.

Top Tips

Dead-head faded blooms to keep plants flowering. Divide every 2-3 years to maintain the vigour of the clump.

Care Information
  • Once established and before planting, prepare the soil by digging over and removing any weeds.
  • Incorporate some horticultural grit is the soil is heavy.
  • Dig a hole slightly larger than the pot and knock out each plant from its container.
  • The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
  • Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.
  • Water in well to settle the soil and prevent desiccation.
  • Cut back to ground level in the autumn to keep it growing neatly.
  • Otherwise, more or less trouble free - just avoid excessive winter wet.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
