Description

Add a burst of late-season color to your Massachusetts garden with the Alma Potschke Aster. This upright, compact perennial blooms from late summer into fall with masses of bright reddish-pink flowers featuring cheerful yellow centers. Its dark green, narrow foliage creates a striking contrast, making it a showstopper in borders, pollinator gardens, or fresh floral arrangements.

Alma Potschke Aster is easy to grow and low maintenance, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil.
