Erigeron ‘Spindrift’

Common Name:
Seaside Daisy ‘Spindrift’

Description:
Erigeron ‘Spindrift’ is a compact and long-flowering form of the ever-popular seaside daisy, loved for its soft mounding habit and prolific display of dainty, daisy-like blooms. The flowers open white and gradually fade to soft pink and lilac tones, giving a two-tone effect that creates year-round charm in Melbourne gardens. ‘Spindrift’ is particularly noted for its neat growth and tidy, trailing nature, making it ideal for edging, spilling over rock walls, softening pathways, or brightening containers. It performs well in full sun to part shade and thrives in well-drained soils. Once established, it is both drought tolerant and low maintenance. Flowering can continue throughout most of the year in Melbourne’s mild climate, especially with regular trimming. Its ability to gently self-seed (without being invasive) adds a naturalised, cottage-style feel to garden spaces.
