🌱 Roots and Childhood

Every life begins with roots. This opening chapter celebrates childhood, where curiosity, comfort and the first connections are formed. Gentle textures, soft colours and delicate flowers evoke the security of home and the foundations that shape who we become.

Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion'

Common name: Mexican Fleabane


A charming, long-flowering perennial that produces masses of delicate daisy-like flowers from late spring until autumn. The flowers open white before gradually ageing to soft pink, creating a soft, natural effect that is loved by bees and butterflies.
