Erigeron karvinskianus Profusion
Mexican fleabane, Wall Daisy
The seeds of erigeron, which are quite expensive at €5.50, normally contain around 350 seeds, but in the transparent pouch (inside the packaging) that wasn't closed, there were no more than about thirty: where are the others? Scattered, I imagine, in the paper bag, and since I opened it without being careful, well, they're lost because they're tiny; what a disappointment, especially since I don't know if the ones I have left will even sprout.

Description
Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion' is a small, perennial daisy with a golden yellow central disc and white petals that turn deep pink as they age. It flowers profusely from May until the first frosts. Charming in rock gardens, containers, alongside paths or spilling out of the cracks in stone walls.
Erigeron karvinskianus, commonly known as Mexican daisy or Fleabane, is a herbaceous annual belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is native to the open plains and mountainous regions of North America and Mexico. It forms well-branched, very bushy clumps that grow to a height of about 20 cm. The deciduous, deep green foliage is low-growing. From May to October, an abundance of 1 cm flower heads appear on erect stems. They look like asters but have thinner, shorter petals (technically, ray flowers) that start out white and gradually turn pink to deep purple. One plant can simultaneously bear different-coloured blooms.
Erigeron is not very demanding and adapts to all types of soil, even limestone. It prefers drier soils in the summer rather than waterlogged soils, and is only truly happy when grown in full sun. It is very cold hardy, withstanding temperatures as low as -15°C. It naturalises easily, even in the most unlikely of places, spilling out of tiny gaps or crevices between paving stones and walls. It is perfect to decorate south-facing rock gardens, low retaining walls or a sunny slopes alongside red Valerian, Erigeron 'Dunkelste Aller' or deep blue Aster dumosus 'Augenweide'. Its small blooms are loved by honey-producing insects and butterflies. They are also very popular as a cut flowers in wild bouquets.

Planting and care
Sow from February to May in seed trays or pots, on the surface of good quality sowing mix or compost mixed with a little sand. Cover with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite and keep in a light place at a temperature of 3-15°C. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination takes 14 to 30 days. When the seedlings are strong enough to be handled, plant them out in a sunny location in well-drained soil. Make sure to leave 20-25 cm between each plant.
Alternatively, scatter the seeds in around the gardens from May onwards, in between pavin stones or cracks in walls.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
