General Information:
Asters, novae-angliae, are tolerant of wet conditions. We are happy to be able to offer several of these fine New England Asters. They flower from late summer into fall and do they flower! Native to Eastern and Central United States. Mildew resistant.

Plant Care:
Pinch back and divide like mums for best display. General rule of thumb is to pinch until 4th of July and not after. Pinching yields better branching and more flowers. Can be divided every 2-3 years in spring. Avoid wet overwintering conditions.
