How to grow
How To Grow Erigeron From Seed: Sow Erigeron seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix and sow the flower seeds onto the mix. Do not cover the seeds because they do need light for germination.
Transplant seedlings when temperature are warmed up. For directly sowing Erigeron flower seeds outdoors, wait until frost danger has passed and directly spread flower seeds onto prepared beds. Keep the Fleabane Daisy seeds moist but do not cover them.

Flower Specifications
Erigeron is a hardy perennial that will tolerate dry weather. It will rebloom if cut back after flowering which will greatly increase the blooming season. Cut back the stems to ground level in early spring. Divide large clumps every 2 - 3 years, discarding the woody crowns.
