Mexican Fleabane
Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Profusion’ is a delightful, free-flowering perennial that creates a soft, airy display of daisy-like blooms over a long season. Its small white flowers, with yellow centres, age to soft pink, giving a charming two-tone effect. The blooms are produced in abundance from late spring right through to the first frosts.
With its trailing, spreading habit, ‘Profusion’ is ideal for softening the edges of walls, containers, and paths. It’s especially effective in cottage gardens and gravel planting schemes. Drought-tolerant and loved by pollinators, this low-maintenance plant thrives in sunny, well-drained spots
Erigeron ‘Profusion’ is known for attracting bees, beneficial insects, butterflies, moths and other pollinators. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit
