Description
Erigeron speciosus 'Azure Beauty' is a small, compact, and bushy perennial that flowers from June to August. It is suitable for bordering flower beds, and its semi-double lavender-blue flowers reveal a small yellow heart that attracts pollinators. Requiring little maintenance, it can thrive in various soils as long as they do not dry out too much.
Belonging to the Asteraceae family and resembling Asters, this Erigeron is originally from California. Resulting from hybridisation, its herbaceous clump does not grow excessively and maintains a height of around 50 cm (20in) with a spread of 30 cm (12in). Therefore, it is the ideal companion for small gardens and complements larger flower beds. Its deciduous foliage is a vibrant green. The lanceolate leaves are rather long, around 10 cm (4in), numerous at the base, and arranged alternately along the stems. At the top of the stems, there are corymbs of heads. The heads consist of ligulate or 'tongue-shaped' flowers in lavender-blue. As they bloom, these flowers reveal the yellow tubular flowers that make up the centre.
Erigeron is undemanding in terms of soil. However, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to grow rapidly. It can tolerate temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) and appreciates having its stems cut back at the end of flowering to allow it to regenerate its stump. If you also remove faded flowers, the next ones will renew more spontaneously. Dividing the stump will be beneficial after three years if it has become extensive.
With its essential blue hue in the summer colour palette, 'Azure Beauty' will blend in with all other shades to brighten up the season for a long time: from yellow Heleniums to red Benoites. You can also plant it around a group of Asters and tall grasses, thus enhancing a wild and romantic ambiance that you can bring into your home by creating small bouquets.

Planting and care
Erigeron 'Azure Beauty' can be planted in spring or autumn in the ground or even in a container, in all types of soil. However, avoid soils that tend to dry out and add some gravel if the substrate is poorly drained. It prefers a sunny exposure for a more abundant flowering.
If its stump develops rapidly, do not hesitate to divide it in autumn after the end of flowering.
Removing faded flowers during the season will promote the growth of new ones. At the end of the season, you can cut back the stems to allow the stump to regenerate. Alternatively, you can let the flowers transform into egret plumes, which will fly away in late autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
