Kalimeris yomena ‘Fuji Snow’
Japanese Aster |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.298.560
An Asian cousin to our native Aster, this features stunningly variegated foliage, boldly splashed with green, creamy-white and pink. Attractive throughout the growing season, this bursts into flower in autumn with a display of small mauve-pink daisies that last for several weeks. A versatile plant that looks attractive both in the garden as well as in mixed planters or in a container by itself. Plants have a bushy habit and will spread to form a small patch. Tolerates damp soil.
