About this Plant
Moerheimii Erigeron (Erigeron karvinskianus 'Moerheimii') is a charming, free-spirited perennial daisy that enchants with its delicate, small white flowers that gradually age to soft pink, creating a two-toned floral tapestry that seems to be perpetually in motion. A refined selection of the beloved Mexican Fleabane, 'Moerheimii' produces a continuous cascade of dainty blooms from spring through fall on spreading, fine-textured stems that weave gracefully through cracks in walls, tumble over rock edges, and soften the hard lines of pathways and paving with effortless, cottage-garden charm. The lacy, mounding foliage remains attractive and evergreen in mild climates, ensuring year-round garden presence.
These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, delivering well-rooted specimens that establish quickly and spread generously to fill gaps, edges, and open areas with a haze of delicate color. Erigeron karvinskianus 'Moerheimii' thrives in full sun to partial shade with excellent drainage and is notably drought tolerant once established. It is perfectly suited to rock gardens, dry stone walls, pathway edges, container plantings, and cottage-style borders where its naturally self-seeding, free-flowing habit is most appreciated.
- White-to-Pink Color-Changing Blooms: Flowers open white and gradually age to soft pink, creating a beautiful two-toned effect with both colors present simultaneously throughout the long bloom season.
- Remarkably Long Bloom Season: One of the longest-blooming perennials available, flowering nearly continuously from spring through fall with minimal deadheading or intervention required.
- Cottage Garden & Wall Plant Extraordinaire: Naturally self-seeds into cracks in walls, paving, and rock gardens, creating the effortless, established look of a mature cottage garden in just one season.
- Drought Tolerant & Adaptable: Once established, tolerates dry conditions and lean soils with ease — an outstanding choice for low-water gardens, Mediterranean-style plantings, and gravel gardens.
- Pollinator Friendly: The abundant small daisy flowers are a rich nectar source for bees, small butterflies, and hoverflies throughout the extended bloom season, supporting a diverse range of beneficial garden insects.
These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-drained to dry soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9; spreading stems reach 6–12 inches tall with a spread of 18–24 inches. Blooms spring through fall (April–November in mild climates). Evergreen in mild winters. Allow to self-seed naturally for a naturalized cottage-garden effect, or deadhead to control spread.
