Sow Erigeron seeds according to the instructions for the identified species, using a well-drained seed-starting mix. Small seeds may need to be sown near the surface. Maintain suitable moisture, temperature, and light, and transplant seedlings when they are established.
Some Erigeron species, such as Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus), develop spreading growth and can be used as ground cover in suitable locations. Other species grow in more upright forms. Check the variety's mature growth habit and manage spreading plants where necessary.
