Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Sea of Blossom’ – Months of Effortless Colour

Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Sea of Blossom’ is one of the longest‑flowering perennials you can grow, producing a constant display of delicate daisy‑like flowers from late spring right through to autumn. Each flower opens white and gradually fades to soft pink, creating a relaxed, natural look that suits almost any garden style.

This variety is perfect for filling gaps, softening hard edges, and adding movement and charm with very little effort.
