Title: Erigeron?
Post by: alpinelover on June 06, 2012, 08:31:13 PM

This is a plant that grows several years in my garden. Does any one recognize this plant.

I have an Erigeron that looks just like it. I'll look for the photos later

Hi Frankie, this plant is in my eyes Aster ageratoides 'Adustus Nanus' and no Erigeron at all.
I have it more than 20 years and it has rather long runners. Take care to keep it at the place you want it.
When the runners are in other plants you cannot pull them away without damagint the other plant.
During the time I have it the name has sometimes been Kalimeris  :-X

have been looking again more carefully at the pictures and if the plant has no long runners I think I'm wrong and it is an Erigeron :-\

Mayby you are right, Luit.  The plant makes many underground runners. Does Erigeron leiomerus makes such runners?

This is my Erigeron leiomerus. No runners!
