The Santa Barbara Daisy is known for its delicate and daisy-like flowers that bloom white and pink as well as its long blooming period, especially in cooler, moderate coastal climates. Blooms best in spring and fall. The foliage is a bright green color that forms a low, spreading groundcover. This lovely and adaptable perennial, also known as the Seaside Daisy, is ideal for any garden or landscape.
Santa Barbara Daisy is a hardy and easy-to-care-for plant that is suitable for both experienced and inexperienced gardeners. It can grow in a variety of soil types, but it thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. Because it can withstand salt and coastal conditions, it is an excellent choice for gardens near the sea and is considered to be drought-tolerant.
Known here in California as the Santa Barbara Daisy, Erigeron karvinskianus is native to Central and South America and has many common names, but no matter what you call it, this trailing ground cover looks great in rock gardens, coastal gardens, or cascading over walls.

Plant Like a Pro: The Triangle Method
We recommend planting in a triangular (offset) pattern: each plant sits in the gap between the two plants in the row above. This covers more ground with fewer plants and fills in faster than a square grid.
