Erigeron robustior grows in rocky of gravely slopes, sometimes in serpentine soil. It is an perennial herb up to 55 centimeters (22 inches) tall, forming a thin tap root, not growing into colonies as do some of the other species in the genus. The inflorescence usually contains 1-3 flower heads. Each head contains 21–36 white or pink ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets.[2][5]
