Aster

Michaelmas Daisies

We never tire of Aster’s cheerful daisy faces and the profusion of colors and sizes that make up this genus, from 6 ft. giants to tiny dwarf alpines. Our Asters, large and small, are tried and true performers in ordinary garden soil and full sun. Generally late summer bloomers, they provide lots of oomph when other perennials have petered out.

Aster amellus ‘King George’ 

“Aster” is derived from the Greek word for star and this sought after, old-fashioned cultivar continues to captivate fans with its star quality.

Perched on branching stems, slender violet-blue petals circle around a sunshine-colored hub, while rough textured leaves compose a dense clump-forming crown that keeps its good looks all season. ‘King George’ is a bushy, small-statured Aster that exhibits a reliable, tough-as-nails character as well as asserting a lot of flower power for the front of the border.

Blooms August–October.

Size: 18"–2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5.
