Lynnhaven Carpet Robin's Plantain — Erigeron pulchellus

Lynnhaven Carpet Robin's Plantain (Erigeron pulchellus var. pulchellus 'Lynnhaven Carpet') is a charming, low-growing native perennial ground cover that forms a dense, velvety mat of soft grey-green foliage — an excellent and underused native plant that produces small, delicate aster-like flowers that open pale purple and gradually age to white on tall stems throughout late spring into early summer. The mat-forming habit is dense and weed-suppressing, making Lynnhaven Carpet an outstanding choice for rock gardens, border edges, naturalized areas, wall plantings, and difficult dry spots where other plants struggle. Drought-tolerant once established and thriving in rocky to sandy, well-drained soils with full to part sun, this low-maintenance native requires almost no care once established. Will self-seed to naturalize over time. Hardy to Zone 3.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overly rich soils. Will self-seed. Watch for powdery mildew and leaf spots in humid conditions.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, Native Gardens, Wall Plantings, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Lavender Cotton, Shasta Daisy, Stonecrop
