A beautiful Michaelmas Daisy prized for its larger than usual lavender blue flowers, each with a yellow centre. This is a tough and disease resistant variety with strong growth that is ideal for bringing late season colour to beds and borders. Like all Michaelmas Daisies it fits perfectly into a cottage garden theme. Very popular with pollinating insects and a valuable late season nectar source. An outstanding plant that has recieved the RHS AWard of Garden Merit for outstanding garden performance.
Best in full sun or just a touch of shade, any reasonable soil.
As a rough guide planting Aster X frikartii Monch as ground cover – 4 plants per square metre is adequate with a little patience, 6 will give better coverage and 9-12 will make a weed supressing carpet very quickly.
