Aster lateriflorus ‘Lady in Black’
Michaelmas Daisy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.085.830
Also known as Fall Asters, these are terrific favorites for autumn colour in the perennial border. Plants form a bushy clump, bearing loads of small white daisy flowers. This is a tall-growing selection with outstanding smoky-black foliage. Pinch plants before July to reduce height, or plan to give support with stakes. Excellent for cutting. More resistant to powdery mildew than most aster selections. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigour. ‘Lady in Black’ is similar to ‘Prince', but much taller in habit.
