Aster novae-angliae ‘Harringtons Pink’ at Digging Dog Nursery

New England Aster

Aster

Michaelmas Daisies

We never tire of Aster’s cheerful daisy faces and the profusion of colors and sizes that make up this genus, from 6 ft. giants to tiny dwarf alpines. Our Asters, large and small, are tried and true performers in ordinary garden soil and full sun. Generally late summer bloomers, they provide lots of oomph when many perennials have petered out.

<em>Aster novae-angliae</em> ‘Harringtons Pink’

Bred by Mr. Hilliard from Williamsburg, Iowa and celebrated by Graham Stuart Thomas for its ample “garden charm,” this well-loved Aster highlights pink flowers and a tall profile. Lavish quantities of dainty gold-centered daisies, each house nearly 50 layered finely cut rays, while cresting thick straight, somewhat woody, branched stalks. The robust grayish green clump, crowded with stem-clasping, bristle-rough, 4 to 5 in. long leaves, tolerates wet soil and some shade, resists mildew and looks lovely next to Sedum ‘Indian Chief’ and blue-blooming Asters.

Blooms August–September

Size: 3' 0" – 5' 0" high x 2' 0" – 3' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 3.
