Erigeron glaucus 'Beachboy Blue' (Seaside Daisy)

Erigeron glaucus 'Beachboy Blue,' commonly known as Seaside Daisy, is a compact, mat-forming perennial prized for its charming daisy-like flowers. The blooms feature lavender-blue petals surrounding a bright yellow center, adding a cheerful and coastal vibe to gardens. Its foliage is fleshy, gray-green, and evergreen, making it a valuable ground cover or border plant in mild climates.
