Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Always to remain one my favored asters because of its elegant dark leaves liberally sprinkled with white, raspberry-pink-centered flowers in summer - profuse tiny delights make a cloud of bloom - a prince of a plant. Stiff, tight, shrubby growth, 2 x 2 ft. Minimum temperature: -30°F
This is a beauty! Purplish green foliage emerges in the spring to form a good mound, turning purplish-plum in the autumn. It has masses of white flowers with raspberry-red disc florets in late summer/autumn at about 30". Due to the mass of little flowers you will get a haze effect that is stunning in the fall garden. If you want to make it flower lower, remember to pinch it back to 3-4" in June.
