Cape Sebastian Seaside Daisy
Erigeron karvinskianus
Erigeron glaucus 'Cape Sebastian' is a charming, compact California native perennial prized for its profuse, long-lasting lavender daisy flowers and its tidy, mounding habit. This selection of the coastal seaside daisy is the smallest and tightest-growing of the glaucus cultivars, forming a dense, evergreen mat of spoon-shaped, gray-green foliage . From spring through fall, it produces an abundance of 1-inch, daisy-like blooms with delicate lavender to violet petals and bright golden-yellow centers, creating a cheerful, long-lasting display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators . Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in coastal conditions, tolerates salt spray, clay soil, and deer, making it an outstanding choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, seaside plantings, and as a colorful, low-maintenance ground cover .
