Erigeron

Erigeron is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the family Asteraceae. They are commonly known as "fleabanes" because of their historical use in repelling fleas. Erigeron plants are native to North America, Europe, and Asia, and are now grown in many other parts of the world as ornamental plants.

Erigeron plants have tall, slender stems that can reach up to three feet in height. The flowers are typically pink, white, or purple, and have many thin, radiating petals around a central disk. The foliage of Erigeron plants is often green and narrow, with a slightly rough texture.
