Michaelmas Daisy
Aster Pink Beauty
Beautiful, soft pink flowers with narrow, needle-like petals which radiate from stunning, golden-yellow crowns attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. This is an easy-to-grow, spreading perennial which forms a dense mound of hairy, grey-green leaves that provide a fantastic backdrop to the flowers. Between August and October the plant is completely clothed in blooms, producing a blanket of colour that’s ideal for adding interest to the autumn garden. Perfect for planting in the herbaceous border or rock garden, it makes excellent cut flowers and will sometimes produce a second flush of colour if faded flower heads are pinched out. It’s tolerant of light shade although staking may be necessary.

Garden Care:
Remove dead and damaged stems on an annual basis. Also, apply a liquid feeder in mid to late summer. Please Note: Although all our perennials are advertised as being sold in 1 litre containers, they are sometimes stocked in 9cm pots instead (particularly during the winter). If you order perennials from us, we reserve the right to supply them in 9cm pots instead of 1 litre containers, at a price of £2.80 instead of £3.80. Between November and March many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means they are sold as a root, corm or bulb with no top growth. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in the spring.
