Dahlia 'Roxy' and Asters


Dahlia 'Roxy' and Asters (Dahlia)

This Aster is A. x frikartii 'Monch'. It has to be one of the longest flowering plants I grow.

Beautiful aster! I love the colour & the contrast of the golden centre. And contrasts wonderfully with that strong pink (dahlia?)

I just dashed off to look at the online cataloque of the private nursery I am visiting tomorrow & they have got this aster in stock, so I think I will be coming home with it, as I have a very long fenceline bed to fill & a lot of it has at least 6 hours of full sun, so this should do well there.

It's an excellent plant, Dwyllis - you'll enjoy growing it.

The Dahlia is called 'Roxy'.

Gorgeous combination Spritz - thanks. Going on favourites in hopes I'll remember to track the Aster down!

Thanks, Sheila. It shouldn't be difficult, it's a popular plant, quite rightly. :-)) I've told Sbg she just MUST get one! lol.
