Has anyone grown Mexican daisees (Erigeron) from seed? What is its growth habit like?

What I mean is, I have a new packet of seeds (200 seeds), do I sow them all then prick them out in clumps similar to Lobelia or do I just sow 20-30 seeds and prick out individualy and then grow on?

I only want say half a dozen reasonable clumps of this in the garden, how do I go about this?

Thanks in advance.

I grew a packet of these many years ago - each one makes a sturdy bushy plant which is low growing and seeds itself happily in paving and crevices. I would sow a couple of pinches in two pots and grow on from there, after pricking out. And swap the rest of the packet!

Excellent, thank you very much Jeanied. I'll get some sown today then, I'm on my third wave of seed sowing this week. I have tons of seeds to swap, but I dont think I have been here long enough yet to qualify for that.

Thanks again!
