Description

Add a delicate touch of soft colour to your garden with Aster Lady in Blue. This charming variety is known for its compact growth and abundance of light blue, daisy-like flowers that bloom from late summer into autumn. Each flower features a subtle yellow centre that brightens up garden borders and draws the eye. Lady in Blue is perfect for creating a cool, calming effect in cottage gardens, mixed borders, or containers.

Well-suited to British gardens, Aster Lady in Blue thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil types, as long as it is well-drained and moderately fertile. This hardy perennial grows to a height of around 30-45 cm, making it ideal for the front of borders or as an accent plant in containers. It’s an excellent late-season bloomer that provides colour when many other summer flowers have passed their peak.

Not only does Lady in Blue offer visual appeal, but it also attracts bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardening. Supplied as bare root plants, this aster establishes quickly and returns each year with minimal maintenance, providing a reliable splash of colour.

Choose Aster Lady in Blue for a serene addition that keeps your garden looking fresh and lively as the season winds down.
