Showy Fleabane is a sun-loving perennial flower that’s great for rehabbing dry, low-fertility soils. It’s drought resistant and happy to grow in rocky and gravelly soils. Blooms are long lasting into the summer months. Showy fleabane spreads by rhizomes and seeds. A stunning splash of purple and yellow, this plant can be dug up and divided in the fall.
