Aster amellus Rosa Erfüllung

Aster amellus 'Rosa Erfüllung' is an intermediate-sized variety. The pure pink flowers with yellow centres bloom from the beginning to the end of summer. They accompany summer blooming and await the colours of autumn. This perennial is smothered by its generous flowering. This aster tolerates poor and calcareous soil, as long as it remains moist.

Aster amellus belongs to the Asteraceae family. The horticultural variety 'Rosa Erfüllung' shows, starting from spring, an upright clump habit, with few branches. It will reach 50cm (20in) in height when flowering, and will spread over 45cm (18in), with a moderately fast growth rate. The particularly abundant flowering takes place from July to September. The 3cm (1in) diameter capitula are pure pink with a hint of lavender and the heart of the flowers displays a joyful yellow-orange colour. This aster is a deciduous perennial plant with slightly hairy stems. The basal leaves are slightly pubescent, generally lanceolate and green. This plant spreads through underground woody rhizomes.

It is impossible to imagine our homes without aster beds or borders. Not demanding, completely hardy, and easy to grow, they go well with all kinds of perennials. The relatively small size of Aster amellus allows you to incorporate them into the composition of flower pots. The Aster genus is extremely rich; it comes in a wide range of varied colours and sizes. By choosing different cultivars, it is possible to enjoy these pretty daisies with a countryside look from spring to the gates of winter.
