(='Erlkönig') Also known as Michaelmas Daisy, this is an easy, mildew resistant selection for late season colour in the perennial border. Plants form a bushy clump of tiny leaves, bearing masses of small soft-blue daises for weeks on end. Grown commercially as a florist’s flower, and excellent for cutting. Pinch plants before July to maintain a compact habit. Attractive to butterflies. Tolerates dry soil better than most aster selections. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigour.
