Culture - This beautiful aster is a must for the fall garden and is right at home in a cottage garden or a formal garden. It is easy to grow provided that you give it reasonably good soil and drainage. Multiple plants should be placed at least two feet apart. Despite its delicate appearance, this is a stout perennial and won't flop all over the place after a hard rain. It can be easily divided to share with friends or plant elsewhere in the garden. Its most admirable attribute, in addition to the lovely color, is a long bloom period. » Return to Menu
