Produces masses of charming daisy-like blooms above dense green foliage, creating a particularly colourful display towards the end of the growing season. Its relatively compact habit makes it especially useful for the front of perennial borders, where taller Asters can sometimes be too large, and it is equally effective in patio containers and smaller gardens.
