Erigeron glaucus - Seaside Daisy

It's unfortunate that E. glaucus burns in the inland sun, for its delicate, elliptical leaves and pretty, lavender flowers would certainly create ornamental interest in an urban garden. Instead, it prefers a coastal environment, where it is often found growing in clumps on rocky ledges near the beach.
