General Information:
We are happy to be able to offer these fine New England Asters. And do they flower! Each arching branch is covered with blossoms. 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.
