Properties and uses:
The Red Bushy Aster is a rather hardy, vigorous bushy perennial which forms clumps and blooms from September throughout October. Easy to grow, Aster is the ideal perennial for borders, rock gardens, low walls, or in pots and containers.
Bushy Asters provide a bold splash of colour in the autumn garden, when all other flowers have faded. We recommend pruning in Spring, to encourage new shoots and blooming.
