Erigeron karvinskianus 'Stallone'
- Whether you plant it as a low mound at the front of your borders, or let its wiry stems flow down the crevices of a stone wall, 'Stallone' is as delightful a perennial as they come.
- Sporting lovely white, daisy-like blooms from late spring well into autumn, the white petals turn shades of pink and purple over time, lending the plant a striking two-tone effect.
- Semi-evergreen in nature, this plant is hardy and will retain its foliage in milder winters. Don't worry if the leaves are lost in particularly harsh winters, new growth will emerge in spring.
- Known for its particularly long flowering season, 'Stallone' will continuously produce blooms from the end of April all the way through until October.
- This plant is designated as one of the RHS's Plants for Pollinators, signifying its benefits to pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
