Description

(Symphyotrichum novi-belgii ‘Blue Gown’)

Asters prefer a sunny position. Plant at the front of a bed with other perennials or ground covers – excellent border plant.

Easily grown in any reasonable garden soil. Cut flowering stems to the ground at the end of the season. Divide if necessary after several years.

Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best.
