Night Eyes 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.
Clothed in tasteful fine-haired lanceolate greenery, a rounded bushy base of tall, upright sturdy stems supports ′Nachtauge′s striking late season floral fete. Slender lanky petals dancing around saffron and russet-hued centers plus decorative recurved calyces describe the dark-as-night purple flowers. Selected by German plantsman Till Hofmann, this mighty perennial lends regal richly-hued grace notes to fellow back-of-the-border cohorts such as Helianthus ‘Sheila’s Sunshine’ and Eupatorium ‘Riesenschirm’.
