PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
• Spring: Plant Erigeron in spring when the soil begins to warm. This gives roots time to establish before the main flowering season, promoting healthy growth and abundant blooms. • Early Autumn: You can also plant in early autumn. This allows the plant to settle before dormancy and encourages stronger growth the following year.
Site Selection
• Sunlight: Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ thrives in full sun. Ensure your chosen location receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to maximise flowering and foliage colour. • Soil: Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ requires well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas to prevent root rot, and improve soil with organic matter if needed.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. This provides ample space for Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ roots to spread.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance fertility and drainage. Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ thrives in nutrient-rich soil for optimal flowering.
Planting: Place the plant in the prepared hole, keeping the top of the root ball level with surrounding soil. Backfill and gently firm the soil.
Watering After Planting: Water Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ thoroughly to settle the soil and help roots establish. Ensure the soil drains well to avoid standing water.
Watering Requirements
• Growing Season: Once established, Erigeron is moderately drought-tolerant. Water during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry slightly between sessions. • Dormant Season: Water sparingly during dormancy, only if the soil becomes very dry.
Feeding
• Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy new growth and encourage a strong flowering season. • Mid-Summer: A light feed can prolong flowering and maintain vigour.
Pruning and Deadheading
• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms and keep Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ tidy. • Autumn Pruning: Cut back the plant to the base after flowering finishes to prepare for winter and promote healthy growth next season.
Mulching
• Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. • Winter: Mulching helps protect roots from cold temperatures and prevents frost heaving.
Supporting the Plant
• Staking is rarely necessary for Erigeron due to its low, spreading habit, but consider support in very windy locations.
Final Tips
Erigeron glaucus ‘Sea Breeze’ is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that adds long-lasting summer colour. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, follow this care routine, and enjoy its vibrant blooms and self-seeding habit season after season.

Although Royal Mail took longer to deliver than the text I received indicated the plants were a good size and healthy albeit very dry and thirsty. All had good roots on them, planted them straight away and gave them a good drink. Overall impressed with Procters Nursery.
