Erigeron speciosus ‘Azure Fairy’

Masses of lavender-blue daisy-like flowers for a long period over summer

Established plants in two-litre containers

Description

Erigeron speciosus ‘Azure Fairy’ is a wonderful free-flowering hardy perennial plant with narrow, lance-shaped mid-green leaves and masses of lavender-coloured daisy-like flowers with yellow centres in a succession throughout summer. Like other Erigerons it is a reliable and adaptable plant suited to a range of garden schemes and locations, but that excels in rockeries or coastal garden schemes. The blooms are similar to those of a Michaelmas Daisy and will attract all manner of pollinators.
These established, garden plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall in peat-free compost and are provided in two-litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of about 50cm (20 inches) with a similar spread, and should flower from mid-summer onwards.

Growing Advice

Erigeron speciosus ‘Azure Fairy’ needs well-drained soil to really thrive, and as much sunshine as it’s possible to give it for maximum flowering. They will self-seed where happy but seedlings can be removed easily. They are best suited to front of borders or rockeries, and will also grow in crevices in rocks or paths (like their cousin Erigeron karvinskianus). They flower best on poorer soils.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
