Cape Sebastian Seaside Daisy

Cape Sebastian Seaside Daisy (Erigeron glaucus 'Cape Sebastian') is a charming, low-growing California native perennial producing a generous, long-lasting display of delicate lavender daisy flowers with bright golden centers over an exceptionally extended bloom season stretching from spring through summer and often well into fall. Selected from wild coastal populations along the Oregon coast near Cape Sebastian, this outstanding cultivar delivers tighter mounding habit and more prolific flowering than the straight species, making it one of the most beautiful and reliable native groundcovers available for Pacific Coast and Mediterranean-climate organic gardens.

Grown from certified organic heritage stock, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system fully established and ready to thrive in challenging coastal, drought-prone, and low-water conditions. Cape Sebastian Seaside Daisy is exceptionally salt-spray tolerant, making it one of the very few ornamental perennials that genuinely excels in coastal gardens, oceanfront bluffs, and seaside plantings where wind exposure and salt air eliminate most other options. It thrives in full sun to part shade with excellent drainage and is highly drought tolerant once established — an essential plant for water-wise, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance California native and Mediterranean-style landscapes of all sizes.

• True California Coastal Native — Selected from wild Cape Sebastian coastal populations, this cultivar is perfectly adapted to Pacific Coast conditions including salt spray, coastal wind, sandy soils, and low-water environments.
• Extended Multi-Season Bloom — Lavender daisy flowers with golden centers bloom prolifically from spring through summer and often into fall, providing one of the longest bloom windows of any native perennial groundcover.
• Drought Tolerant & Water-Wise — Highly drought resistant once established, thriving with minimal supplemental irrigation in California-friendly, water-wise, and low-water landscape applications.
• Salt Spray & Coastal Tolerant — One of the very few ornamental perennials that genuinely excels in oceanfront gardens, coastal bluffs, and salt-wind-exposed locations where most landscape plants cannot survive.
• Native Pollinator Habitat — Golden-centered lavender daisy flowers are a premier nectar and pollen source for native bees, monarch butterflies, and beneficial insects supporting healthy local coastal ecosystems.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to part shade with excellent drainage — plant in well-drained to sandy soil and water moderately until established, after which minimal supplemental irrigation is typically needed. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9, growing 6–12" tall with a spread of 18–24". Blooms spring through fall (April–October) in coastal and mild climates. Avoid heavy clay soils and overwatering; shear lightly after the main bloom flush to encourage a clean second wave of flowers and maintain a tidy, compact mounding form.
