Aster amellus ‘Rudolph Goethe’ Description

Aster amellus ‘Rudolph Goethe’ is a compact, bushy perennial with lance-shaped dark green leaves and strong upright stems. Clusters of large soft violet-blue daisy flowers with yellow centres appear from July into September, providing colour earlier than many traditional Michaelmas daisies. Growing to around 60cm, it fits well through the middle of a sunny border, among ornamental grasses or in a gravel garden. The flowers attract bees and butterflies and can also be cut for arrangements. Grow in full sun in moderately fertile, freely draining soil. Avoid waterlogged winter ground, particularly in high-rainfall areas of Ireland. Cut back faded stems and divide the clump in spring when flowering begins to decline.
