Aster 'Samoa'

A gorgeous, dwarf go getter with a bushy, free flowering habit for late in the season. Semi double, lilac purple flowers with a bold, golden centre. Wonderful in the garden and compact enough for containers. Excellent mildew resistance.

Tougher than they look, once established the plants don't require a lot of water, even though they grow and flowers through the hotter times of the year. The pollinators love them!

Grow in moderately fertile to humus rich, well drained soil. Divide this rhizomatous herbaceous perennial every three or four years to keep it looking good.

In the language of flowers, Aster's denote love or daintiness. The word, Aster, is Latin for Star. Asters are commonly known as Easter Daisies or Michaelmas Daisies.
