Large (1-2") lilac-budded lavender-pink flowers give this fine French selection a different & pretty color effect; 2-3' tall, it blooms over a very long Aug to Oct period. S/M

'Lutetia' is one of our favorite low growing Asters, and by summer's end you'll see why. Its pink buds open into a charming blanket of large, yellow-centered, pastel daisies with delicately splayed lavender petals, completely hiding the loose mound of finely textured foliage and intertwined, wiry, deep purple stems.
