Description
Aster novi-belgii 'White Ladies', commonly known as Michaelmas Daisy, is an elegant perennial that adds a touch of purity and brightness to any late-season garden. With its profusion of crisp white, semi-double blooms, this variety creates a striking display from late summer to autumn, providing much-needed colour as the days shorten. Reaching a height of approximately 90 cm (3 feet) and a spread of around 60 cm (2 feet), 'White Ladies' forms a graceful, upright habit that complements mixed borders and cottage garden settings beautifully.
This reliable and hardy Michaelmas Daisy thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, attracting bees and butterflies, thus enhancing your garden's ecological value. Supplied as bare root plants, 'White Ladies' establishes quickly, making it an easy-care choice for gardeners looking to enjoy an extended flowering season. Plant approximately 4-6 plants per square metre for a lush, full effect.
An added benefit of 'White Ladies' is its resistance to common aster problems, such as mildew, making it more robust compared to other cultivars. It also pairs beautifully with late-flowering perennials, such as rudbeckias and sedums, to create a harmonious display that extends the beauty of your garden into autumn. With its long-lasting blooms, 'White Ladies' is an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, bringing fresh, elegant floral displays indoors. This classic Michaelmas Daisy is perfect for adding a clean, sophisticated touch to your garden and providing continuous interest when other plants are fading.
