For all of the reasons that you might say
"native", you might have to say this one is different. The leaves
are a shiny green and it flowers all the time except possibly the depths of winter.
The flowers are a lavender blue with yellow centers. It is tolerant of abuse.
My dog scratched off every living bit above the soil line looking for a place to lie
where it was cool. Erigeron Wayne Roderick came back, and many of the pieces that were dug out
rooted and are now growing in other parts of the yard. It is ruggedly drought
tolerant once established. It does not take shade kindly, especially if you water
much there. Erigeron Wayne Roderick is a food source for the Painted
Lady Butterfly and Common Buckeye and
is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
