Symphyotrichum, Blue Wood Aster, Heartleaf Aster 'Little Carlow' (Symphyotrichum cordifolium)


The heart of the flower starts a beautiful contrasting deep red-purple and gradually turns into a pale yellow with aging

This is my favorite one, I love its airy growing habit and the lovely blue with purple-red hearts, it's very popular with bees and hover flies

It's just starting off with an abundance of tiny promising buds...

In its full glory 8th October 2008


And I'm not the only one who's so fond of it :)
