is well-suited to dry, rocky areas and is often found in sandy or gravelly soil. Its ability to reseed and spread makes it an excellent choice for naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, and low-water landscapes. This dainty yet resilient plant grows from 6 inches to 2 feet tall, with many branching stems that give it a spreading form. Each stem produces cheerful daisy-like flowers with narrow, white to pale lavender ray florets surrounding a bright yellow center. Blooming generously from spring through fall, it provides extended color in the garden and is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant once established, Erigeron divergens is perfect for wildflower meadows, borders, or rock gardens. It flourishes in full sun and lean soils, needing minimal supplemental water.
