Erigeron ‘Seaside Pink’

Common Name:
Seaside Daisy ‘Seaside Pink’

Description:
Erigeron ‘Seaside Pink’ is a charming, low‑growing perennial (often grown as groundcover) that produces a profusion of daisy‑style blooms in soft pink tones with yellow centres. The flowers open from spring through to autumn, gradually fading in colour as they age, which gives the plant a dynamic, evolving display. Its foliage is fine, semi-evergreen and forms a dense mat or low mound, helping suppress weeds and giving strong garden presence even when not in flower. This cultivar is particularly suited to sunny, well‑drained sites and tolerates dry conditions once established. In Melbourne’s climate it works beautifully in rockeries, as an edging plant, cascading over walls, or filling gaps in mixed borders. Its airy, delicate texture softens hard edges and adds a splash of long‑lasting floral interest with minimal fuss.
