Properties and uses:
Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ – Seaside Daisy – is a nice flowering perennial. It offers a multitude of pink flowers from early spring throughout summer. This Seaside Daisy, like the Karwinsky’s Fleabane, is able to settle in soils poor in organic matters such as piles of fallen rocks or cracked stone walls and of course, rock gardens.
It is resistent to very dry climatic conditions, so it is often used to colonise areas with dry soil, or seaside gardens.
