Erigeron Uniflorus

What is the plant

Erigeron is a large genus of plants in the daisy family. It is closely related to the genus Aster and the true daisy Bellis. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution in dry, mountainous areas and grassland, with the highest diversity in North America. The species may be annuals, biennials, or perennials. They are well-branched with erect stems, characterized by their numerous white, lavender, or pink ray flowers and yellow disc flowers. Some members of this group have no ray flowers. The pappus (=modified calyx, forming a crown) is shorter than in Aster, and consists of bristles. The ray florets are narrower than in Aster, but are clearly longer than the involucre

How to Care for the Plant

Water
During planting, water when the soil has dried to help the root system get set up.
Pruning
In fall, after the blooming or at the beginning of spring, cut back the crown as short as possible. This step aims at snipping all stems down to a height of about 4 inches (10 cm) from the crown head, to stimulate the growth of erigeron while promoting the next flowering.
Sunlight
In spring or fall preferably, locate a nice sunny spot to plant your erigeron, it can really support the blooming.

Soil
Just like the aster, ordinary soil mixed with a bit of soil mix is perfect. Avoid compact and heavy soils that would retain water instead of releasing it to the plant.
Temperature
This easy perennial hails from North America and adapts very well to any temperate climate. Even though some species like karvinskianus aren’t so hardy and need a relatively hot climate to thrive, most species are hardy.
