CUTE. petite little aster, 8-10″ high and 18-24″ wide…literally smothers itself with bright purple-blue blossoms in late summer…a nice show! Very easy to grow in most soils, moist or dry…prefers full sun. Our deer herd ignores the flowers. Hybrid of Aster nova angliae x Aster nova-belgii. I was glad to find this aster after removing all my six footers!! I CAN have asters after all!
