Nursery contributed plant descriptions

While there's no such thing as a Gold Aster, this comes pretty close in effect because the white petals are short relative to the gold central disc which is extra wide, so from a distance, it does actually look quite golden. Bushy, densely branched and low like all S. ericoides. Wonderful tucked here and there for a burst of late season gold. Of easy disposition.

Mirroring autumn's warmth, this Aster's unexpected golden floral hues bring a glittery Midas touch to the late season border. Arching branched sprays of copious small daisies with narrow buff white petals and prominent rich yellow centers rise above the well-groomed, dense leafy clump, which makes a congenial neighbor for Astrantias and Pennisetum spathiolatum.
