Aster, October Skies

An intensely floriferous, low-growing selection of aromatic aster. It forms a bushy habit of 2’ tall by 2’ wide and is covered with 1” blue-lavender flowers from late summer through fall. The plants are not true to seed (its seeds will not produce a plant with the same characteristics), so consider cutting back stems after flowering to prevent possible self-seeding.
