Dwarf mountain fleabane
Erigeron compositus
Dwarf mountain fleabane is a charming low-growing wildflower perfect for rock gardens, alpine troughs, or naturalized meadow plantings. It prefers gritty, well-drained soil and tolerates partial shade, making it suitable for mountainous or cool temperate gardens. Minimal care is required once established — simply deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
