Erigeron glaucus - Wayne Roderick

Erigeron glaucus ‘Wayne Roderick’ is a superb California native seaside daisy for gardeners who want long-blooming color and serious pollinator value. This selected form produces cheerful lavender-pink to blue-purple daisy flowers over low, tidy foliage, creating a soft, natural look for coastal gardens, native plantings, dry borders, and containers.

Also known as Wayne Roderick Seaside Daisy, this durable perennial was praised as a strong plant for attracting native bees, and it is equally useful for butterflies and beneficial insects. Its compact habit makes it excellent along pathways, in rock gardens, at the front of borders, or planted in groups as a flowering ground cover. Pair it with California poppies, yarrow, buckwheats, native sages, grasses, and other water-wise perennials.

Plant Erigeron glaucus ‘Wayne Roderick’ in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant, low maintenance, and easy to grow, though occasional water keeps it bloomier. Explore more habitat-friendly favorites in our California Native Perennials collection.
