Erigeron procumbens, commonly known as Corpus Christi fleabane, is a perennial herb native to coastal habitats such as wet depressions between sand dunes, roadsides, and the edges of mudflats and salt marshes along the Gulf of Mexico. Its range includes Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This species typically grows up to 16 inches tall with procumbent stems that sprawl along the ground. It produces single flower heads with numerous pink or white ray florets surrounding a center of yellow disc florets, blooming from late spring to early fall. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite numerous, creating a delicate display.

Corpus Christi fleabane is valued for its ability to thrive in challenging coastal environments, where it can stabilize soil and contribute to the ecological health of the area. It is often used in native plant gardens, restoration projects, and as a ground cover in coastal landscapes. This species prefers full sun to part shade and can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal supplemental watering once established. While not commonly affected by diseases, it can be susceptible to root rot if grown in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
