Aster alpinus Dark Beauty


Alpine Aster

(='Dunkle Schöne') Alpine Aster is an early-blooming species, often grown in rock gardens or used for edging in the perennial border.

Not a long-lived plant, but will self-seed to produce successive generations, if allowed. This strain has rich violet-blue blooms followed by fluffy seedheads.
