Aspen Fleabane, Showy Fleabane
Erigeron speciosus (Showy Fleabane) is a vigorous, upright and well branched, clump-forming perennial producing masses of pink, lavender or white flowers, 1-2 in. across (2-5 cm), adorned with over 100 ray florets surrounding a yellow disk. Blooming for months from summer to fall, the blossoms attract bees, butterflies and other insects. They are held well above the foliage of narrowly-oval, gray-green leaves. This Erigeron has one of the showiest heads, hence the common name. Charming in a mixed border.
