Description
Erigeron karvinskianus, commonly known as Mexican Fleabane or Mexican Daisy, is a charming and versatile groundcover that brings a soft, delicate touch to gardens. This evergreen plant features masses of dainty, daisy-like flowers that transition from white to soft pink as they age, creating a two-toned effect. The fine, trailing foliage makes it ideal for softening garden edges, spilling over walls, or filling gaps in cottage gardens. It flowers prolifically from Early Spring (Djilba) to Late Autumn (Djeran), with blooms appearing almost year-round in Perth's mild climate.
This hardy and low-maintenance plant thrives in pots, rockeries, or garden beds. It prefers well-draining soil and full sun to part shade. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires only occasional watering during extended dry periods. Light pruning after flowering will encourage a neat shape and ongoing blooms. With its ability to self-seed, Mexican Fleabane is perfect for creating a natural, relaxed aesthetic in any garden.
