I have not grown Erigeron speciosus, but grow (zone 5A) erigeron cultivars
which are hybrids. Erigeron speciosus is apparently the main parent of these.

I have two blocks of blue Erigeron 'Azurfee' (Azure Fairy) which are now over five years old. The blue Erigeron 'Prosperity' and blue Erigeron 'Dunkelste Aller' (Darkest of All) were planted two years ago. In my gardens these well loved plants usually need staking.

A daisy like perennial plant. Commonly confused with Fleabane Erigeron Karvinskianus for similar flowers. These perennials form clumps up to 50cm wide. A good border plant. pokerboy.
