PerennialHeritage Perennial Profile

Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.

 Plant Number: 1.200.230USDA Zone: 8 - 10 
Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Profusion’
Common name :  Mexican Fleabane Daisy
Profusion Fleabane is a terrific filler perennial for any sunny border, flowering for months on end. Plants form a low mound of grey-green leaves, bearing small white daisies that age to soft pink. Even in cold regions this will act as a self-seeding annual and bloom all season long. Superb in containers or window boxes and on rock walls. Being native to Mexico, this is well suited to regions with arid, warm summers. Seeds can be scattered into odd cracks and corners where they will germinate and grow. Attractive to butterflies.
