About this plant
Erigeron glaucus 'Bountiful', commonly known as Seaside Daisy, is a vigorous perennial known for its profusion of daisy-like blooms. From late spring through summer, this plant produces abundant lavender-pink flowers with bright yellow centers, creating a cheerful and eye-catching display. The flowers stand out against its gray-green, fleshy foliage, which adds an attractive textural element to the garden.
Native to the coastal regions of California and Oregon, 'Bountiful' was specifically cultivated for its ability to thrive in tough seaside conditions. It has become a popular choice for coastal gardens, rockeries, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. With its long bloom period and adaptability, 'Bountiful' has become a go-to variety for gardeners seeking a resilient yet beautiful plant.
