MEXICAN FLEABANE
SKU: 2518-025
Erigeron karvinskianus, the Mexican fleabane, is a species of daisy-like flowering plant. Common names include Latin American fleabane, Santa Barbara daisy, Spanish daisy, Karwinsky's fleabane, or bony-tip fleabane.
It is an easy-to-grow, drought resistant, ground-covering perennial that becomes covered in masses of pink and white flowers with bright yellow centres. Flowers from May to October. It is frequently grown in crevices in walls or paving, where it rapidly spreads to provide a carpet of flowers.
It was used to colonise the concrete terraces of the football stadium (Estadio Azteca) built in Mexico City for the 1970 World Cup.
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Erigeron karvinskianus is native to much of Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela, and is naturalized in the United States, Africa, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong and Chile.
