New England Aster 'KICKIN Carmine Red', Michaelmas Daisy 'KICKIN Carmine Red', Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'KICKIN Carmine Red', Aster 'KICKIN Carmine Red'
Aster novae-angliae ‘KICKIN Carmine Red’ is a bushy, compact New England Aster that produces a profusion of semi-double, daisy-like, magenta-red flowers with a golden button center from late summer to mid-fall. The blooms are so abundant that they blanket the plant and cover the foliage of finely textured green leaves. Ideal to add a great splash of color in the late-season garden, this eye-catching beauty is terrific in containers or near the front to middle of the border. Easy to grow, and long-lived, it does not require any human intervention to maintain its neat habit.
