Med. to Tall-30-36". Plant 20" apart. zone 3-8. Asters add color in Autumn. Very durable and long lived. Even heavy wet soils will suit Asters. Watch for powdery mildew beginning in mid summer, but good air circulation will go a long way towards preventing disease. Pinch back and divide like mums for best display. Lustrous red.
