Erigeron karvinskianus 'Stallone' – The compact, profusely flowering Spanish daisy for any garden

Erigeron karvinskianus 'Stallone', often known as Spanish daisy or wallflower, is a charming and versatile garden plant that grows quickly and blooms exceptionally profusely. Although Erigeron karvinskianus is botanically a perennial, the 'Stallone' variety is often grown as an annual in temperate climates. The reason? This plant blooms within three months of sowing and continues to produce flowers continuously from late spring until well into autumn.
