Description
Aster dumosus 'Professor Anton Kippenberg' is a robust perennial. Between August and October, it transforms into a cushion of small flowers with a purplish-blue colour illuminated by a golden yellow heart, reminiscent of daisies. Its slightly trailing stump produces branched stems, adorned with lanceolate, dark green and glossy leaves. It has a compact and sturdy habit, reaching a height of 35 to 40cm (14 to 16in), ideal for replacing summer perennials, in pots or borders.
Asters belong to the Asteraceae family (formerly Compositae), which mainly consists of herbaceous plants. Aster dumosus 'Professor Anton Kippenberg' is a dwarf hybrid derived from A. dumosus, or New York Aster, native to the eastern half of the United States, from Texas to Florida, Maine, and Wisconsin. This 40cm (16in) aster animates the garden at the end of summer and early autumn, covering its foliage with small purplish-blue heads with yellow centres. The robust, dark green foliage is deciduous and composed of linear leaves. It is sometimes susceptible to powdery mildew.
Aster dumosus 'Professor Anton Kippenberg' thrives in sunny or slightly shaded positions in all rich and moist soils, even slightly dry. It is perfect for creating charming autumn scenes. Easy to grow, its 40cm (16in) habit allows for creating colourful patches, combined with golden or coppery grasses, tall sedums spectabile, and decorative heucheras. Its cousins, the chrysanthemums with brightly coloured heads, pink, purple, orange, or white, will give a richer appearance to the border. Aster dumosus 'Professor Anton Kippenberg' is also perfect in rockeries, borders, or containers to brighten up the surroundings of your house, even in front of your windows. They also attract butterflies.
The genus offers many species, represented by a multitude of floriferous varieties. They come in all sizes, with an extremely rich range of colours. Each season, there are several species to choose from, including Aster alpinus or A. tongolensis for spring asters, A. amellus or A. frikartii for summer asters, and A. cordifolius, A. dumosus, A. ericoides, A. lateriflorus, A. novae-angliae, or A. novi-belgii for autumn asters.

Planting and care
Plant in autumn or spring in a border or bed, in rich soil that is not too dry or wet. It prefers a sunny exposure but can tolerate partial shade. In a bed, leave at least 30cm (12in) between the plants. Mulch the soil from the end of spring, and water in case of drought, being careful not to wet the foliage to limit the appearance of powdery mildew to which asters are susceptible. Divide the clumps every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigorous young plants which are more resistant to powdery mildew.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
