Erigeron karvinskianus Stallone 9cm Pot
- Impactful daisy-like flowers
- Range of white, pink and purple
- Pollinator friendly
Honoured with the RHS’s coveted Award of Garden Merit prize for strong performance in UK conditions, Erigeron karvinskianus Stallone is a wonderful flowering plant that produces a lively scene of summer colour.
More frequently known as Mexican Fleabane or the Latin American Fleabane, this striking plant produces a meadow-like mixture of daisy-type flowers in a variety of colours and shades that will really catch the eye of visitors to your garden.
Plant up this vibrant flower in rows of beds along lawn or pathway edges, fences or entrances and you’ll achieve a stunning result. The sight of these light and airy flowers gently swaying in the wind and catching the sun’s rays will be loved by adults and children around your outdoor spaces. Erigeron karvinskianus Stallone can also create magical container displays for a welcoming pot when placed on patios, decking and even balconies.
The colour range it creates when in full bloom from June to August includes white, pink and purple. The leaves are narrow and hairy and although it will thrive in a sunny location, Erigeron karvinskianus Stallone can also take a shaded spot that receives some of the sun’s helpful summer rays. Keep the soil well-drained and, if possible, create some wind shelter around the plant and it will fill borders and pots healthily for many seasons.
When to plant and what to expect at different times of the year
You can plant hardy shrubs, trees and perennials at any time of the year avoiding the two extremes of heat and cold. During the summer months when it is hot and dry the need for watering becomes crucial to aid successful establishment and in the winter when the soil is frozen the plants will not be in active growth either above or below ground and risk getting cold damage. The same is true on the stage or growth you can expect your plants to be delivered in and this will be directly related to the time of year and the season.
When ordering through the year, here’s a summary of what to expect when receiving your plants:
Spring Months: Plants supplied in spring will be starting to show signs of active growth above and below ground.
Summer Months: Plants supplied in the late summer will be more advanced in size and flower stage
Autumn Months: In the autumn plants will be changing colour, showing signs of leaf colour breakdown and be preparing to shut down for winter.
Winter Months: Plants ordered and supplied during the winter months will be dormant and therefore may not be showing growth above the soil level or consist of bare branches with no leaves or bare roots with no soil.
These are all perfectly normal and natural for these types of plants growing in the northern hemisphere. All will still have a very healthy root system that can be planted when the weather is favourable by keeping the new soil level equal to the pot level and therefore not covering the crown of the plant at all. Planting during the autumn and winter months will allow for early establishment in the season and a bigger and better display throughout the main growing season.
