Description

Intense violet-blue puffs stand tall on sturdy stems.

Hybridizer Ernest Ballard developed this fully double aster to display amazing colour, a unique powder-puff form and a long bloom time. Though petite in size, the 2" asters grow in abundance in late summer, fairly sparkling in borders, pots and cutting gardens. Butterflies love it, too!
*Pot not included.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
