Erigeron ‘Sea Breeze’

Common Name:
Seaside Daisy ‘Sea Breeze’

Description:
Erigeron ‘Sea Breeze’ is a charming, compact perennial known for its long-lasting blooms and excellent ground-hugging habit. This cultivar of the seaside daisy forms a dense mat of soft green foliage topped with masses of small, daisy-like flowers in shades of soft pink, lavender, and mauve, fading to pale blush as they age. The result is a constantly shifting display of pastel tones throughout the flowering season. In Melbourne gardens, 'Sea Breeze' performs beautifully in full sun to part shade and thrives in well-drained soils, especially in coastal or cottage-style landscapes. Its ability to flower over a long period—from spring through to autumn—makes it an ideal filler for borders, edging, retaining walls, and containers. It is particularly useful in areas where a light, informal look is desired. Low maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, Erigeron ‘Sea Breeze’ is also bee-friendly and provides a soft, naturalistic look to any setting.
