Love this Aster! It's late October and it's covered with monarchs and bumblebees. It's the only thing blooming in my garden for butterflies right now, and I want to help the migrating monarch butterflies on their journey to Mexico. Love the 5-6 foot height. Am going to get more.

I ordered Centranthus ruber and got this. But I like it. It's not a showstopper but I think it will be great as a weed suppressor and a some nice fall color. Glad to have it so far.
