Nursery contributed plant descriptions

With a carefree cant, green, lance-shaped leaves have a lively look all season. Lean, dark violet-streaked stems give way to airy, lavender-colored sprays of glassine blossoms whose open petals are caught in a vivid yellow center. The red hues in the stems of Panicum 'Shenandoah' and Echinops enliven this Aster's rich verdure.
