Plant description
A long-flowering, spreading perennial that produces masses of pale lavender-pink, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres from late spring into autumn.
This low-growing plant forms a neat mound of wiry stems and small, bright green leaves, making it ideal for softening the edges of paths, filling gaps in walls, or trailing over containers.
Erigeron karvinskianus 'Lavender Lady' thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny position, where it will self-seed gently without becoming invasive. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance apart from the occasional trim to encourage fresh blooms and maintain its shape.
A magnet for pollinators, this cultivar is perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens.

How to care for Erigeron karvinskianus Lavender Lady:
Interested in how to grow Erigeron karvinskianus? This low-maintenance plant plant thrives in well-drained soil, and it’s essential to avoid very wet or waterlogged conditions in winter. When planting, space them approximately 30-40cm (12-16in) apart to allow for spread.
While tolerant of drought once established, regular watering during dry spells will promote continued flowering. Deadheading isn't necessary, but a light trim in late autumn can help maintain a neat shape. You can divide Erigeron karvinskianus, during the early spring, if the clump becomes too large or unproductive.
In containers, ensure good drainage by mixing grit into a peat-free compost. Feed container-grown plants monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to encourage prolific blooming.
Erigeron karvinskianus has a tendency to self-seed, which can be an advantage in informal gardens where it will naturally colonise bare patches. However, in more structured settings, you may wish to remove unwanted seedlings to maintain control.
