By Mary H. Dyer, Master Naturalist and Master Gardener What are seaside daisies? Also known as beach aster or beach daisy, seaside daisy plants are flowering perennials that grow wild along the Pacific Coast, from Oregon and Washington south to Southern California. This tough little plant is found in rugged environments such as coastal scrub and sand dunes. Information About Seaside Daisy Plants Seaside daisies (Erigeron glaucus) are low-growing plants that reach heights of 6 to 10 inches, with a spread of 1 to 2 feet. This evergreen perennial consists of glossy, grayish-green foliage. Attractive blooms with ice blue, daisy-like petals (sometimes with a lavender or pink tint) surrounding a large, bright yellow center. Seaside daisy plants are durable, but they don’t tolerate extreme cold. This plant is suitable for growing in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. In mild climates, seaside daisies may bloom well into winter. Seaside
