Also known as Fall Asters, these are a favourite for their colour in autumn and are great as a perennial border. Plants form a bushy clump, bearing loads of small daisy flowers. This is a dwarf selection with double crimson-red blossoms. Excellent for cutting.
Grown in a moist, rich soil. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigor. Pinch plants before July to maintain a cushion effect.
