Erigeron strigosus is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names prairie fleabane,[1] common eastern fleabane,[2] and daisy fleabane.[3]
Erigeron strigosus is native to eastern and central North America as far west as Manitoba, Idaho and Texas . It has also become naturalized in western North America as well as in Europe and China as a somewhat weedy naturalized species.[4][5][6]
Erigeron strigosus is an annual or biennial herb reaching heights of up to 80 cm (32 inches). It has hairy, petioled, non-clasping, oval-shaped leaves a few centimeters long mostly on the lower part of the plant. One plant can produce as many as 200 flower heads in a spindly array of branching stems. Each head is less than a centimeter (0.4 inches) wide, containing 50–100 white, pink, or blue ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.[2]
