You might know these beauties as Asters, or as Michaelmas Daisies, botanically they are a relative of the wild daisy. We just love them because they are so hardy, dependable, and easy to grow, with a rich tapestry of colours which is breath-taking and a must have for any autumn garden. Your Terrific Symphyotrichum Collection comprises; Symphotrichum novi-belgii Neron - a reddish-pink double flowered extravaganza with golden hearts which almost seem to glow, height and spread 50cm; Symphotrichum novi-belgii Purple Dome - masses of semi-double, violet-purple blooms with sunny yellow centres, this compact perennial forms a neat, tight dome, height and spread 60cm; and Symphotrichum novae angliae Fellowship AGM - clusters of semi-double and double lavender-pink blooms are held on upright stems until late autumn, height 90cm, spread 75cm. An invaluable feast for pollinators and drought tolerant once established. Dependable and vibrant, not only do Asters add colour to the garden, they can even be cut and added to bouquets or vases to spread their joy inside too. Plant in a sunny or partially shaded position in well-drained soil.
