Aster laterifolius 'Horizontalis'

Beautiful Barbara, my garden has closed down for the winter and most plants are brown. Luckily I have a lot of structural evergreens, but your Asters are still flowering as if it was mid -summer.

yes, Linda, me too! it really makes you realise the difference in latitude eh? ;)

I have this one Spritz they are a delight at this time.

Yes, they are. I've got another one in another shady bed, but it hasn't done as well as this one!

Funny thing plants lol

They are indeed.....;-)

This looks like my Lady in Black...have just put a pic on.....

Oh, don't tell me I've named it wrong, Dd. I 'did' wonder. Ah me. SIGH. I can edit it if I got it wrong.

Cor! That's a sight for sore eye's, lovely :o))))

That is a beauty for this time of the year ;o)

that is so beautiful Spritz

Yes - I agree, but I've been trying to find out if I've named it wrongly! My RHS book is no help...oh dear. :-((

Spritz, it looks like yours has more ray flowers than Dottydaisy's 'Lady in Black', if that's any help.

I think I'll leave it as labelled. My book has a photo which is like it, too. I do have 'Lady in Black' as well - and it looks nothing like this!

Mine is labelled Aster laterifolius 'Horizontalis' Spritz its on page 2 of my pics if you want to have a look?

Thanks, as long as I don't get even MORE confused, Denise! lol.

So pleased to see this as I have one that looks exactly the same and have never known what it was called! I'll look at Drc's as well, just to make sure.

I hope 'YOU' don't get confused as well, Penny! :-/

Well it looks as though it should be called horizontalis if that helps lol. It's lovely:-)

Thanks, Ba. It's staying with that name now. ;-)

It really is a beauty whatever it's name.

That's my new attitude to this one, Janey! LOL.
