Aster X Blue

Medium blue 1.5" flowers

Enjoy asters earlier in the season with this new variety. Unlike most asters that bloom later in the season, Aster X steals the show in late spring. Very floriferous plants have compact habit and are a magnet for pollinators. They look great for the front of borders and patio containers. PPAF
