Description
Erigeron Dignity is a summer perennial that is quite charming, with a long flowering period and large chiselled 'petal-like' heads. Its numerous violet-purple flowers with yellow centres bloom from May to July and contribute to the liveliness of the garden by attracting pollinators. Perfect for romantic or wild settings, it is suitable for a wide range of conditions, as it tolerates all types of soil that are not too dry, even limestone, and is robust and hardy.
Belonging to the Asteraceae family and resembling Asters, this Erigeron Dignity grows to about 50 cm (20in) tall and 50 cm (20in) wide. It is therefore suitable for small gardens, but also complements larger flower beds. Its deciduous foliage is dark green. The lanceolate leaves are rather long, around 10 cm (4in), numerous at the base, and alternately arranged along the stems. At the top of the stems, there are corymbs or clusters of flowers organized into heads. These heads consist of fine ligulate or "tongue-shaped" flowers in a violet-purple colour. As they bloom, they reveal the yellow tubular flowers that form the centre.
Erigeron Dignity is undemanding when it comes to soil. However, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to develop quickly. It tolerates temperatures down to -15 °C, can handle limestone and poor soils, and appreciates having its stems cut back at the end of flowering to allow it to regenerate its stump. It is perfect in a group among a collection of grasses, accompanied by Cosmos, Roses, or Phlox. Essential in flower beds, its long flowering period is earlier than that of Asters, providing us with numerous bouquets and colourful flower beds throughout the summer.

Planting and care
Erigeron Dignity can be planted in spring or autumn in any type of well-drained soil. However, avoid soils that tend to dry out in summer or become waterlogged in winter, and add some gravel if the substrate is poorly drained. It prefers a sunny exposure for a more abundant flowering.
If the stump develops rapidly, feel free to divide it in autumn after the end of flowering.
Removing faded flowers during the season will promote the growth of new ones. At the end of the season, you can cut back the stems to allow the stump to regenerate. Alternatively, you can let the flowers turn into egrets that will fly away in late autumn.

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.
