Asters at last!

Very pretty, is this a low grower? It looks very like one we bought in the spring, and forgot we had!!

Yes only about 1ft Dotty but showing signs of Mildew this year

Took mine out!

Why is that Karen?

I don't like them Andrew. I don't generally like plants that are smothered with flower all at once for such a short time. I planted two more Aster Frickartii Monch instead. They are much more to my taste. I also have Aster lateriflorus 'Lady in Black'..but their foliage is just as lovely as their flowers, so I like them more.

They look like Aster dumosum, which bloom later then Belgian asters. Do they have short stems?

Oh, now I noticed the comment, that they are low growers. So they are A. dumosum.

We have lost lady in Black after growing it for quite a few years...could have been the wet winter?

could be A. Or perhaps they are just short-lived, I don't know. But I'm sure it's nothing you did. :)

I'm not impressed with mine this year :o(

It's definitely not the same as mine Annie. MIne had bigger leaves, more spaced out on the stems.
