Description

A large number of abundant perennials, in all colours, for spring, summer or autumn, for all uses and growing environments. Autumn hybrids, whether tall or small, will benefit from being divided every 2 to 3 years to regenerate the stump and protect them from powdery mildew.

Very hardy. Has given birth to many varieties. Suitable for any moist to damp, rich and clayey soil. Better performance than Aster novi-belgii; rarely affected by diseases and does not require staking. Despite its "exotic" name, this variety is one of the hardiest and best, with ruby red - truly red - flowers without a hint of purple.
