Erigeron speciosus, also known as aspen fleabane, garden fleabane, and showy fleabane, is a widespread North American flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. It is a perennial herb that can grow up to 100 centimetres tall and has underground rhizomes and a woody caudex. The plant produces 2-20 flower heads per stem, each containing white, lavender, or blue ray florets and yellow disc florets. Blooming from June to October, it is similar to the E. subtrinervis, which has hairy stems and leaves. The species' name, speciosus, means 'pretty'. It can be found in western Canada and the United States, as well as some parts of Mexico, in open coniferous forests.
