Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Aster 'Aqua Compact' is from the ‘Autumn Jewels’ series, with lovely semi-double lilac-blue blooms with golden centres, which will brighten your garden with late summer and autumn colour. This pretty perennial has a dwarf habit, which makes it ideal for containers as well as front of borders and wildlife areas, where it will form neatly compact, bushy mounds of small, dark green leaves, smothered with delightful daisies from August through to early November. Aster novi-belgii 'Aqua Compact' is a hardy and reliable dwarf daisy loved by butterflies and bees as a valuable late season nectar source. 'Aqua Compact' also makes a lovely cut flower, so you can enjoy its joyous blooms in your home too. Height: 35cm (14"). Spread: 30cm (12").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
