Are you worried about Fleabane overtaking your garden? Then read my comprehensive guide to turning this misunderstood plant into a garden darling.
Erigeron Speciosus - Fleabane Daisy is a widespread North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. Erigeron speciosus grows on in prairies and in open coniferous forests. It is a perennial herb up to 40 inches tall, producing underground rhizomes and a woody caudex. The inflorescence generally contains 2-20 flower heads per stem. Each head contains 75–150 white, lavender or blue ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets. 40+ seed per packet I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!! ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL. Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!

I waited until afternoon to walk today so that the air could warm and the dew could dry. Walking in high, dewy grass soaks your shoes the same as walking into a stream! With each step you feel your feet getting soggier and soggier. But a cool, dry afternoon with a breeze is wonderful - the perfect time to head out. One thing I didn't count on though, was the number of grasshoppers lurking in the grass. As I walked they leapt out of my way, but occasionally one would leap into me. They hit my arm, my chest, my thigh, but then one leapt full speed and smacked me right in the eye! I was looking down, so he hit me on the eyelid, but still, I felt like I was under attack! While I walked through the tall grass I admired all the early May beauty of the pipeline. The Lance-leaf Coreopsis is prettier this year than ever, or at least the prettiest I've seen it in 21 years of living here. Other flowers are blooming too: Lyre-leaved Sage, Gray Beardtongue, Thistle, White Yarrow, Spotted Cat's Ear, Daisy Fleabane is just opening. The scent of Honeysuckle lingers in the valley of Meetinghouse Creek, where cool air still swirled and the clay track was still soft and wet. Besides grasshoppers, there were many dragonflies zipping around (Four-spotted and others), and butterflies! Omg, it's such a joy to see the butterflies visiting all the blooms I've mentioned: Tiger Swallowtails, Buckeyes, Azures, Painted Ladies, Monarchs....and more, although right now I can't come up with them. Daisy and I settled in the sun to draw flowers. It was quiet until the breeze kicked up and rattled the Cottonwood tree just up the hill from where I sat. It sounded so much like rain on the leaf-litter around my house that I immediately looked to the sky to see where the rain was coming from. Ha! No clouds. I twisted around to look behind me and saw the cottonwood leaves wiggling in the breeze. The realization that the sound came from there made me smile. Birds included: Rufous-sided Towhee (Drink-your-tea!), Pileated Woodpecker, Chickadees, Cardinals, Louisiana Waterthrush, and Kinglets in the pines.

Today was so beautiful! A front came through and dried up the humidity of the weekend and blew a steady breeze through the trees all day. The sky was deep, clear blue. Around midday I headed through the woods to the top of the hill, where Old Thompson Road meets the pipeline. This spot almost always has more than just a regular breeze, probably because the open field that stretches from east to west is like a highway for the wind. Sure enough, a cool, stead wind blew across this pine-shaded spot. I spread a beach towel out and settled down to draw. Daisy and Duke stretched out for a nap nearby. It was heavenly. It's hard to believe the end of the week highs are supposed to be near 105 degrees. I hope they are wrong. In another corner of Middlewood, we've had hungry visitors return to my flower garden after a 20 year absence. When we first moved out here we lost some day lilies for two summers, then it stopped. Perhaps our other dogs did a better job of keeping wildlife away than our present combination of Daisy and Duke. From the look of my garden, I'd say it's a whole family of white-tailed deer nibbling in the night. The only deer I've seen in person, during the day, is tiny and delicate. I call her Bambi, and I no longer care about the flowers. There are enough blooms left for us to enjoy, and the tiny fawn can have her greens. I hope to get a photo of her soon. Stay tuned... The phlox Bambi forgot to eat. The hydrangea Bambi couldn't reach.

Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus) may be considered a weed by some, however it is a native wildflower, but one that we do not carry for sale or include in our seed mixes. It is considered a “pioneer species” and often appears in the 1st or 2nd year of a new seeding. It loves recently-disturbed sites, but as an annual, it will fade over time.
