Aster pyrenaeus ‘Lutetia’


Michaelmas Daisy

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.085.660


Also known as Fall Asters, these are terrific favorites for autumn colour in the perennial border. Plants form a bushy clump, bearing loads of small daisy flowers. This is a medium-height selection with clear-pink blooms that open from lilac-blue buds. Has an exceptionally long flowering period. Pinch plants before July to maintain a cushion effect. Excellent for cutting. Most asters will be troubled much less with powdery mildew when grown in a moist, rich soil. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigour.
