SYMPHYOTRICHUM 'Vasterival'

Description

Symphyotrichum 'Vasterival'

Height x Spread: 120cm x 50cm

Recently introduced to the nursery, 'Vasterival' has become one of our most popular 'Michaelmas Daisies' for its height and flower hue.  Come September loads of lilac-pink single flowers each with a yolk-yellow centre erupt from the deep pink buds that stud the ends of its dark multi-branched stems.  

Perfect for the back of the border, it is also a great way of adding soft punctuation and movement to the middle as its openness allows plants behind to be seen.  Hardy and versatile, it is as much at home in a cottage garden as a prairie planting scheme mixed with ornamental grasses.  The pink hue combines brilliantly with so many colours from yellows, to purples and dark reds, ensuring your autumn is full of colour.  It performs best in sun or light shade in a fertile, moist but free draining soil.
