Subalpine fleabane
Erigeron peregrinus
Subalpine fleabane is a charming alpine wildflower bearing lavender to pink daisy-like blooms that thrive in cool mountain climates and moist, well-drained soils. It performs best in gardens that mimic its native subalpine habitat — cool temperatures, consistent moisture, and partial shade during the hottest part of the day. A lovely choice for alpine or rock gardens in cooler regions, where it attracts native bees and butterflies throughout summer.
