Enjoy a profusion of lavender blue blooms through summer into autumn. Aster 'Twilight' is vigorous, hardy and offers great quantities of colourful blooms. It will grow up in good time to fill in for the fading spring bulbs.

Plant Aster 'Twilight' in borders, cottage garden, even in part shade. By dead heading your plants regularly you will promote more blooms. The flowers last well in a vase.
Once established Aster 'Twilight' will grow successfully in moderately fertile to humus rich, well drained soil and doesn't require a lot of water, even though it grows and flowers through the hotter times of the year.
Keep an eye out for slugs and snails as they find new foliage a delicacy. Aster 'Twilight' has excellent mildew resistance.
