Aster lateriflorus ‘Prince’


Michaelmas Daisy

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.085.910


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 medium-height selection with outstanding smoky-black foliage. Pinch plants before July to maintain a cushion habit. Excellent for cutting. More resistant to powdery mildew than most aster selections. Divide plants every two to four years to maintain vigour. ‘Prince’ is similar to ‘Lady in Black', but much shorter in habit.
