Erigeron: A Drought-Tolerant Perennial for All Seasons
Versatile Growing Conditions Erigeron is a versatile perennial that thrives in both low and high deserts. It prefers part shade in hot locations but can handle full sun at higher elevations.
Distinctive Blooms The Profusion cultivar, a variant of a Mexican species, boasts heavy blooming with small white daisy-like flowers, making it the perfect addition to any garden.
Ideal Growing Zones This 8-inch perennial grows well in USDA zones 5-8, commonly known as the Santa Barbara Daisy or Fleabane.
Flowering Seasons In low deserts, the heaviest flower production occurs in spring and fall. However, in colder climates, summer blooms are the norm.
Growth and Spreading Erigeron grows quickly to approximately 8 inches tall and spreads to 2-3 feet wide, making it an excellent ground cover.
Attractive Foliage It features bright green, fine-textured foliage that complements lush landscapes effectively.
Irrigation Requirements Moderate to ample irrigation is needed for optimal growth. It is best suited for oasis zones.
Winter Maintenance Cut back in winter to remove any scruffy foliage. If ample water is available, this plant can reseed naturally in the landscape.
Seeding Information Sow approximately 1,000 seeds to cover 20 square feet or plant 4 seeds per plant to start growing this low-growing ground cover.
