Product description
Erigeron Karvinskianus Sea of Blossom is a semi-evergreen, perennial garden plant with bright green leaves, growing on wiry stems. Flowers begin to bloom in mid spring, sometimes as late as May, with white petals and yellow centres giving a daisy-like appearance. As the flowers mature, they change to shades of pinkish purple, creating a two tone ombre effect.
One of this plant’s most attractive features is the long flowering period, with flowers continuing to bloom all the way until autumn, creating a profusion of blooms in the garden for a large part of the year. In colder areas, frost can kill the foliage over winter, but the plants will regrow from shoots in the spring.
These Erigeron Karvinskianus are perfect for planting along the edge of a pathway, or adding to beds and borders where plentiful, bright blooms can be appreciated from spring all the way until autumn. Masses of beautiful flowers are also great for attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinators to your garden.
These plants will be supplied at a height of 5-10cm.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Deadhead Erigeron regularly to encourage continuous blooming. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils, making it ideal for rock gardens or borders.
How to Water
Water newly planted Erigeron regularly until established. Once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells, as they prefer dry to moderately moist soil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Erigeron in well-drained soil with full sun to light shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart. Prepare the soil by loosening it, and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the plant, backfill, and gently firm the soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
