Also known as Fall Asters, these are terrific favorites for autumn colour in the perennial border. Plants form bushy mounds, bearing loads of small daisy flowers. This is a medium-height selection with vibrant purple blooms. Pinch plants before July to maintain a cushion effect. Excellent for cutting. Most Asters will be troubled much less with powdery mildew when grown in a moist, rich soil. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigour.
