We love the way the cooling blue hues of Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Barr's Blue' add contrast and excitement to the fiery autumnal hues in your autumn garden. Watch with wonder as a riotous splendour emerges in the form of these daisy-like flowers with glorious golden centres from September through to the end of October each year. Purple-blue hues will dance in your borders, prairie and gravel garden as they are captured by the shimmering, low seasonal light. The mounds of flowers not only provide enough for the garden, and give a feast to the pollinators, there will be blooms aplenty to add to a vase or floral display too.Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Barr's Blue' prefers moist, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. A hardy, herbaceous perennial which dies back below ground over winter and re-emerges the following spring. Matures to a maximum height of 1.3m with a spread of 60cm.
