Really beautiful aster-like flowers for several weeks in the summer. I planted them a year ago last spring and they have woken up and appear nice and compact, but bushy. No blooms yet, it is only mid April as I write this, but I will be very happy if it puts on as good as show this year as it did last year.

It is supposed to be drought tolerant, I cannot comment on that because I planted it near my outdoor faucet, instead I will tell you that the Dianthus I planted right next to these beauties did not return, probably they drowned from all the wetness.

I love this flower and I hope to divide them this or next year so I can have some more of these pretty, carefree flowers.
