Description
These three low perennial asters create a very colourful display in late season, from August to October, in a harmony of pale blue, pure white, and deep pink. Flowering and undemanding, they thrive in sunny locations and well-drained soil. Their low and spreading growth habit works wonders in rock gardens, along the edges of large beds, or even in a container on the terrace.
The collection consists of:
- 1 Aster dumosus 'Jenny', a dwarf variety that forms a beautiful cushion-like mound, reaching 40 cm (16in) in height and 30 cm (12in) in width. Its small flowers, 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) wide, are a dense pink that verges on red, with a bright yellow center.
- 1 Aster ericoides f. prostratus 'Snow Flurry'. With a superb low and spreading habit, this aster also stands out for its abundant flowering of numerous small white daisies with yellow centers. This blooming, set against dark green foliage, creates a stunning snow-like effect. This plant reaches approximately 30 cm (12in) in height and 50 cm (20in) in width.
- 1 Aster dumosus 'Silberblaukissen'. This variety, with a more or less trailing base, forms a compact clump of 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) in all directions, adorned with small dark green leaves. Its very bright flowers are small pale blue heads with yellow centers.
Individually labelled
In the garden, this trio of asters will thrive in rock gardens and along borders. They are perfect for creating a charming, colourful autumn scene. To accompany them, consider golden or coppery grasses, tall Sedum spectabile, and purple Heucheras. Gardeners without gardens can easily cultivate these asters in large pots, remembering to provide them with water and fertiliser.

Planting and care
The Dwarf Aster can be planted in the spring or autumn, in the garden or in a pot. This perennial likes well-drained, rich, moist to occasionally dry soil, as well as sunny to semi-shady exposures. At the end of flowering (early winter), you can prune the flower stalks to allow the stump to strengthen. It is a perennial that is sensitive to powdery mildew, so be careful not to water its foliage. It can be divided after 3-4 years. This will allow you to plant it in multiple locations and allow it to regain its strength.

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.
