About Shaggy Fleabane (Erigeron pumilus) 0 Nurseries Carry This Plant Erigeron pumilus (shaggy fleabane, vernal daisy) is a hairy North American species of perennial plants in the (daisy family). :32 It is widespread across much of western Canada and the western United States, from British Columbia east to Saskatchewan and south as far as Oklahoma and the San Bernardino Mountains of California. There have been reports of the plant growing in Yukon Territory, but these were based on misidentified specimens. Erigeron pumilus is a perennial herb up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall with a thick taproot. Leaves and stems are both covered with many stiff hairs. Flower heads usually come in groups of 1-5 heads, but occasionally in large arrays of as many as 50.
