Erigeron Sea Breeze

Erigeron Sea Breeze is a perennial flowering plant known for its delicate yet vibrant appearance. Belonging to the Erigeron genus within the Asteraceae family, it is commonly referred to as seaside daisy or beach aster due to its preference for coastal habitats.

The plant typically grows in compact mounds, reaching heights of around 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) and spreading up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) in width. Its slender, wiry stems bear narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are often tinged with a silvery hue, adding to its overall charm.

The most striking feature of Erigeron Sea Breeze is undoubtedly its daisy-like flowers, which bloom profusely from spring through summer. Each flower consists of a central disc surrounded by numerous slender petals, creating a distinctive appearance reminiscent of a miniature daisy. The petals range in color from pale lavender to soft pink, with a prominent yellow center that adds a splash of brightness.

Erigeron Sea Breeze is beloved not only for its visual appeal but also for its ability to thrive in challenging coastal conditions. It is tolerant of salt spray, sandy soils, and windy environments, making it an excellent choice for gardens near the coast or areas with poor soil quality. Additionally, its compact growth habit and long blooming period make it a popular choice for borders, rock gardens, and container plantings.
