Erigeron karvinskianus. It is often asked for in the nursery but as Santa Barbara Daisy. Correctly pronouncing erigeron karvinskianus is challenging for most. Santa Barbara Daisy is a trailing groundcover that grows and spreads 3-5 ft. wide and about 1-2 ft. tall. It is beautiful when grown cascading over walls or in pots. Almost year-round it produces small white daisies with a touch of pink bloom. It does best in a cool spot with sun to light shade. If given moderate watering it can be invasive but it is tolerant of poor soil conditions. It needs to be cut back periodically. It is cold hardy to about 15 to 20 degrees F. Santa Barbara Daisy as the name might imply prefers a coastal climate. With high inland heat in the summer it shuts down but as soon as the weather cools again it perks up and blooms.
