Italian Aster
RHS AGM This plant/cultivar has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. For more information on RHS Award of Garden Merit plants visit rhs.org.uk/plants

An Italian aster selection with violet-blue flowers in late summer and fall. Forms compact clumps with good mildew resistance. The flowers appear in clusters creating strong colour impact. More heat and drought-tolerant than many asters.

The German name translates as violet queen. Thrives in well-drained soil with full sun. The compact habit suits front to middle border positions. Late-flowering provides valuable autumn interest. The mildew resistance makes it more reliable than many aster cultivars. Attracts late-season butterflies and pollinators.
