Brilliant perennial filler…12” tall stems covered in golden edged leaves spreading to form a mound 2 ½ feet wide – Frothy pinkie lavender flowers in fall add some late season pizzazz! We find this very easy to grow in most soils, sun to part shade and the easy going habit and filigreed foliage makes it a perfect plant to fill those gaps we always seem to wind with in the garden – a great mingler!

Very stable variegation on this 6-12" tall Aster relative. Kind of aggressive in full sun, but by no means a problem. In late Summer, lavender-blue Aster-like flowers make a stunning appearance.

An autumn flowering, winter dormant perennial. A delightful little plant, essentially a variegated Aster. The lightly incised, lance shaped leaves, starting lime yellow, with a central green splash, and fading slowly to all green, clothe the much branched, wirey stems. Billowy masses of small, blue, daisy flowers are borne for an extended period in autumn, while the attractive foliage provides colour from spring onwards. A good ground cover, slowly forming colonies.Cut back to ground level in winter.From what we have seen of this Japanese plant so far, we predict that it will be a stellar performer, like it's larger cousin K. incisa. We expect that it will thrive in a wide range of conditions, tolerate some drying out and take the summer heat in it's stride.
