Erigeron pumilus, the shaggy fleabane,[3] or vernal daisy, is a hairy North American species of perennial plants in the family Asteraceae.

[5][3] There have been reports of the plant growing in Yukon Territory, but these were based on misidentified specimens.

[6] Erigeron pumilus is a perennial herb up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall with a thick taproot.

The species grows mostly on dry slopes and plains, often among sagebrush or in prairies.

[7] "Pumilus" means "dwarf", referring to the small size of this hairy little plant.
