Blooming Habits:
The fleabane daisy is covered with a mass of purple and white, daisy-like flowers in February to October. Some varieties exist with white flowers. All the varieties are good as cut flowers

Culture:
The Erigeron divergens like a moderately fertile well drained soil. Place the young Fleabane Daisies plants 3 feet apart. Cut the older plants back to the ground in late winter to keep them compact.
