The Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership highlighted the Seaside Daisy (Erigeron glaucus) in their latest Flora Friday post. This flowering perennial is native to the coastal areas of California and Oregon. It has spoon-shaped leaves and purple flowers with yellow centers that bloom from spring through summer, and sometimes nearly all year.
The Seaside Daisy grows low to the ground and is known for being sturdy and drought-tolerant. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers most soil types. The plant has low water needs, especially in coastal regions. More details are available on the Water Smart Plant Picker website…
