Aster dumosus KICKIN® Silver Pink


Michaelmas Daisy

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.084.100


Also known as Fall Asters, these are terrific favorites for autumn colour in the perennial border. Plants form bushy mounds, bearing loads of small daisy flowers. This is a compact selection with masses of pale pink blossoms late summer through late fall. Pinch plants before July to keep especially low in habit. Excellent in containers. Most Asters will be troubled much less with powdery mildew when grown in a moist, rich soil. Bred by Kientzler of the Netherlands. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
