Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Profusion’
The Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion') produces endless tiny lavender-pink and white daisies.
The Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Profusion’) is a trooper and very useful. It produces endless tiny daisies that emerge white and mature to shades of lavender-pink and rose. It will seed itself (reasonably not invasively) into places nobody else would like and then burst into flower from various nooks and crannies. Plant beside your steps, pathways, around your patio or in rock walls or rockeries and in pots. Though hardy to zone 6, it will self-seed in colder zones. From Mexico and Central America.
