Erigeron neomexicanus, commonly known as New Mexico Fleabane, is a semi-deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats including open woodlands, meadows, and rocky slopes in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. It typically grows to a height of 0.3-0.5 feet (9-15 cm) and a width of 0.2-0.3 feet (6-9 cm). This plant forms a low mound of foliage from which slender stems of daisy-like flowers emerge. The flowers can be purple, orange, yellow, pink, or white and are most prolific in the summer and fall, adding a splash of color to the garden.

New Mexico Fleabane is appreciated for its drought tolerance and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is often used in rock gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows where its colorful blooms can be enjoyed. It thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil, making it suitable for xeriscaping. While it is low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
