Symphyotrichum Novae-angliae Purple Dome | 2L Pot

Vivid, coral-pink daisy flowers through summer and autumn. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: well-cultivated, fertile, moist soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: August to October Hardiness: fully hardyVivid, lipstick-pink daisy-like flowers with yellow centres erupt from late summer to mid-autumn. The petals are tightly packed, making the flowers more showy than many asters and therefore it’s an excellent choice for adding a vibrant splash of colour at the end of the season. This feisty cultivar also shows a good resistance to mildew, which surely must place it near the very top of the must-have list. Garden care: Stake with bamboo canes or brushwood in early spring. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead to prolong flowering. After flowering cut the flowered stems to the ground and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or horse manure around the base of the plant.
