Erigeron pulchellus

Robin’s Plantain is a biennial or short-lived perennial in the Asteraceae family. Even though it
is short lived, it spreads by stolons and self-seeds. In April to June, clusters of lavender or pale
pink flowers with yellow disks shine. Given its daisy-like appearance, it would do well in cottage gardens. The evergreen basal leaves create a dense mat, making this plant a great green mulch or groundcover. Robin’s Plantain prefers moist, well-drained soil but can handle occasional drought. Native bees and butterflies love this plant.
