A low-growing, spreading perennial with blue-grey leaves and striking, lavender pink, semi-double, daisy like flowers with yellow discs at their centre. It will flower right through the summer and self-seeds into unlikely places such as walls and crevices.
Erigeron glaucus 'Sea Breeze' loves sun and sea air, and is a familiar sight around the coasts of southern Britain. Let it flow over a raised wall, creep through a rock garden or tuck it in the front of a border and let it run.

Erigeron thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny position, making it ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, and gravel beds.
It tolerates poor soils and drought once established but benefits from occasional watering in prolonged dry spells. Space plants around 30cm (12in) apart to allow for natural spreading.
Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, while a light trim after the main flush helps maintain a neat, compact shape.
Protect from excessively wet, winter ground conditions, particularly in heavy soils, to prevent root rot.
If plants become woody or straggly, rejuvenate by cutting back hard in early spring.
