    This native of Manchuria is a compelling candidate for the back of the border or in pollinator gardens, where its clusters of 1” sky blue daisy flowers with large brilliant gold centers bloom atop strong, self-supporting stems in fall, often into November. Abuzz with pollinators, it loves moist rich soils, but tolerates most and always looks good—a bulletproof selection!

    The name may sound like one of the bad guys from Star Wars, but this unique Aster is definitely on our side with its upright bearing and lush textural appeal. Not as towering as its moisture-loving Asian counterpart, 'Jindai' spawns huge serrated rough-to-the-touch leafage on stout shorter stalks and abundant branched sprays of late blooming violet flowers engraved by large saffron eyes. A stand-alone for the mixed border, its assertive look can be juxtaposed against finer textured plants like Spiraea 'Ogon' and Phlox 'David'.

    We like this bold aster with its tobacco-like leaves and late blooming (Oct) papery clusters of lavender blue flowers. A bossy spreader, so give it room.
