White Seaside Daisy

$5.50

Erigeron glaucus ‘Albus’

PRE-ORDER: Ships approximately mid-March 2026

Erigeron ‘Albus’ is a low, spreading seaside daisy with crisp white petals surrounding warm yellow centers. Its silvery-green foliage forms a tidy mound that softens the front of borders, spills gently over stone edges, and weaves easily between larger perennials.

Native to the coastal regions of western North America, Erigeron glaucus is adapted to bright light, lean soils, and excellent drainage. ‘Albus’ offers a cleaner white form of the species, flowering generously from late spring into summer and often reblooming in mild climates.

This is a long-lived, semi-evergreen perennial in the right conditions. It tolerates salt air, wind, and periods of dryness once established. Particularly useful in gravel gardens, coastal plantings, and sunny borders where a low, luminous groundcover is needed.

Seeds will collect in your Trug until you checkout.
