About Eaton's Daisy (Erigeron eatonii) 0 Nurseries Carry This Plant Erigeron eatonii is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Eaton's fleabane. This wildflower is native to much of the western United States where it grows in many habitats from grassland to scrub to woodland. It is a small perennial daisy reaching a maximum height of anywhere from 4 to 30 centimeters. It grows from a taproot and has hairy stems which may be erect or drooping. The leaves are narrow and lance-shaped, with three veins and raspy hairs. They are basal and also continue up the stems. Atop each stem is an flower cluster of one or more flower heads, each up to 2.5 centimeters wide. The center is packed with yellow disc florets and there are many short ray florets around the edge which are bright white, sometimes tinted blue or pink on the undersides.
