AGM An excellent and very floriferous form which produces masses of rich blue flowers with a hint of purple in late summer and autumn. Drained soil in sun, 45cm.
By far the best form of Aster amellus we've seen, a good clear and rich colour on well branched plants that don't need any support.
From the former Four Seasons nursery in Norfolk.
