Aster ericoides 'Pink Star'

syn. Symphyotrichum 'Pink Star'. A late-flowering perennial that is a classic cottage garden addition and an important autumn food source for pollinators. It is one of the best varieties of Michaelmas Daisy. 

- Masses of small pink star-shaped daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres are produced in densely packed clusters from late August until November. 

- Its thin lanceolate green foliage covers bushy, upright stems, which forms a dense compact clump beneath the flowers.

- A staple and must-have addition to any cottage garden, wildlife and coastal garden, prairie-style planting and mixed beds and borders for late-season interest. It thrives best in full sun or dappled shade, and can tolerate a wide range of garden conditions. It also makes a fantastic cut flower.

- Very impactful when used in mass planting with a mix of other contrasting perennials.

- The flowers will attract a wide range of bees, butterflies and other pollinators, as it provides an important source of pollen late in the year when many other perennials have finished flowering.

- Height and Spread approx. 80-100cm x 45-60cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
