Overview

This is a short bushy herbaceous perennial, a great favourite of ours at Ashwood, producing masses of rich violet blue daisy-like flowers with a yellow centre from late summer to early autumn. Unlike some asters, it rarely suffers from mildew and is ideal for any well drained soil in a sunny border.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
