RAMBLER™ mountain fleabane
Erigeron formosissimus ‘P022S'
RAMBLERTM mountain fleabane looks right at home in both formal and naturalistic landscapes. This pollinator-friendly wildflower is native to eight western states, so it fits in with western natives or regionally-adapted plants in borders, pollinator gardens and rock gardens. Cheerful, lavender flowers appear in May and June over grassy leaves. It's quite adaptable, so plant it in sun or partial shade in nearly any soil—as long as it drains. Drought tolerant once established.
