{"title":"Erigeron","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe genus Erigeron is quite large, with 390 species of annuals, biennials and perennials, not including all of the cultivars on the market too. Although distributed worldwide, North America has the largest number of native species of Erigeron (173). As a member of the Aster family, Erigeron has a distinctive daisy-like or aster-like flower with many 'petals' (actually ray florets) surrounding a yellow, disk-like center (the disk florets). Erigeron flowers are usually white, blue or pink in color and are produced in profusion for 1-2 months in the summer or fall, depending on the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eErigeron species prefer full sun, well drained soils and just a small amount of fertilizer. They will not be as floriferous in rich soils. In the garden, Erigeron should be used like a low-growing, drought tolerant aster. You can mass them together towards the front of the border, put them into a rock garden, or grow them in a container. Butterflies love Erigeron flowers almost as much as we do. This is a low maintenance plant but will benefit from a hard pruning every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike with so many of our wonderful native plants, Erigeron is actually more popular in Europe than it is here in America. We hope that by offering Erigerons for sale, we will spark a Star Wort rebellion here at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"erigeron-pulchellus-meadow-muffin","title":"Erigeron pulchellus Meadow Muffin","description":"\u003cp\u003eErigeron 'Meadow Muffin' is a fabulous selection of the North American native (all states East of the Mississippi) erigeron, found by We-Du Nursery founder, Dick Weaver, along railroad tracks in Marion, NC. The flat evergreen rosettes to 6\" wide have unusually crinkled leaves, resembling a \"Meadow Muffin\"...that's bovine excrement to you city folks. The plants are slowly stoloniferous (not weedy) forming a tight, weed-free mat to 4' wide in 5 years. In late spring, the patch is topped with a mass of 10\" stalks of pink daisies... a totally COOL native plant. Average-to-dry soils in light shade is perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21001149061,"sku":"1547","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Erigeron-pulchellus-Meadow-Muffin.i-1547.s-65142.r-1_1d96938b-8dcf-4017-af1f-0e39e43e7389.jpg?v=1791287827"},{"product_id":"erigeron-karvinskianus-profusion","title":"Erigeron karvinskianus Profusion","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have been quite enchanted with the performance of Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion' for decades in our NC garden, where we use it as a groundcover filler. While Erigeron 'Profusion' will never be mistaken for a showy petunia-like ornamental, it has an understated beauty as a groundcover that can easily spread non-invasively to 6' wide in five years. The 10\" tall stalks are topped with small white daisies that age to lavender...more sun equals more flowers. For us, Erigeron 'Profusion' flowers nonstop from May until October. Once established, Santa Barbara Daisy is amazingly drought tolerant.
