Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Softly mounding perennial to 8” tall and about 2’ wide with copious amounts of larger white daisies tinged with pink over a very long summer > fall season! It will tumble and cascade. Great filler, edge or low accent – full sun, well drained soils; drought tolerant, deer resistant and easy to grow. Cut them to the ground any time they look a little a little bedraggled…they get tired making all those pretty little dancing daisies! Easy.
This low growing Erigeron is a marathon bloomer with a tenacious mettle and charm to spare. Thin-rayed, 1 in. wide soft pink daisies produce a bountiful, nearly year round display that almost veils the sprightly bundle of slender wiry stems and small narrow green leaves. Rumored to be from the Royal Moerheim, a Dutch Nursery founded in 1888 and distinguished for its 'Natural Style' plants, Erigeron x moerheimii resembles Erigeron karvinskianus, but is more compact and doesn't reseed. It can be enjoyed spilling over a wall or softening steps and pathways.
More compact than E. karvinskianus, with slightly larger leaves and flowers opening lavender-pink with a bluish tint.
