There are many species of daisy like Erigeron in annual, perennial and biennial varieties. Flowers may be small but you get lots of them

Erigeron karvinskianus

• Daisy-like flowers with buds opening a dark pink turning white.
• The petals are finer and more delicate than the common daisy and the whole flower-head slightly smaller.
• The leaves are small, plants form mats, and each plant can spread over quite a large area.
• Good drainage and plenty of sunshine are essential for plants to survive cold damp winters.
• Sun also keeps the plant small and compact.
• Plants are easily raised from seed.
• The Royal Horticultural Society has given it an Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
