The asters seem to have grown and flowered well this year. I only have one in this small garden but it has a lot of small flowers.

Have you looked at the National Collection website? It's amazing, and there are several I'd love to grow. I can't though - no space.

No, but I will have a look Spritz.

How lovely - I wouldn't mind some more in my garden, and actually seeing them is the best way of buying the ones you fancy, of course.
