A warm, red-pink. A color breakthrough in this type. Very showy.
An explosion of color, Alma Potschke Aster is blanketed in warm reddish-pink daisy-like flowers with cheery yellow centers. These New England Asters form robust semi-woody clumps that bloom from late summer into fall. Each flowering branch is covered with blossoms creating a stunning display against the dark green foliage. Very durable and long lasting. Pairs nicely with grasses.

General Information:
We are happy to be able to offer several fine New England Asters. And do they flower! Tolerant of wet conditions, they are 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.
