The plants were way too small for the price. I'm not even sure if they will grow. I also found out that the aster only had 2 leaves when it arrived in the box. Overall, not happy and I don't think I will be ordering online again. Have a good day.

Description

A beautiful bronze-leaved Aster laterifolius bearing large paniculate clusters of small white flowers with pink centres in autumn. Moderate size.

Planting and care

Plant in well-drained soil, covering the top of the root ball by 3 cm (1in). Not very demanding, they can adapt to any type of soil. However, waterlogged soils in winter can kill them. Asters are more or less susceptible to mildew. We recommend treating them preventively with a spray of Bordeaux mixture every 15 days from spring to autumn. Mulch all asters every year in November after cutting them back. You can divide them in late autumn or early spring if they become too large.
