Erigeron karvinskianus 'Kew Profusion'

A semi-evergreen perennial forming a low mound (up to 25cm) of wiry stems bearing bright green leaves. Plants are covered with white daisy-like, yellow-centred flowers in summer. The white petals age to pinkish-purple, giving the plant a two-tone effect. Blooms begin in spring (starting as early as late April or May) and will continue until late autumn. Similar to the parent species, Erigeron karvinskinanus, but this cultivar is bred to produce uniform plants from seed, in terms of even plant height and flower colour. In cold areas and frosty winters, the foliage is killed, but plants will regrow from a shoots at the base of the plant in spring.
