    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    If you're on the lookout for something to liven up your garden from mid-Autumn to mid-Winter, you need this guy. He's a tall one from the Tatar Mountains in Russia and blooms his head off with medium sky-blue flowers on 5-7 foot stems from October till those killing freezes. Very, very vigorous.

    Last of the asters to bloom in the garden with 2' stems of yellow-centered lavender flower clusters. Spreading habit, so plan accordingly. Lush lettuce-like leaves
