Erigeron ‘Quakeress’

This very old hybrid has flourished in Australian gardens for nigh on a hundred years. It reliably makes vigorous clumps of spoon-shaped, grey-green leaved clumps from which 50cm tall stems carry perfectly form soft lilac daisies. The flower buds nod in a charming manner. Whilst happiest growing in a sunny spot, ‘Quakeress’ will also thrive in light shade. While tough, it does better with a little supplementary irrigation during dry periods. 50cm tall when in flower and the clumps will grow 40cm across.
