Symphyotrichum 'Ochtendgloren',(Aster 'Ochtendgloren', Michaelmas Daisy 'Ochtendgloren', pilosum var pringlei Hybrid, pink aster

One of the best Aster varieties for the garden, award-winning Symphyotrichum ‘Ochtendgloren’ features generous sprays densely packed with starry pink flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm). Sturdy and upright, this herbaceous perennial has a foliage of narrow dark green leaves which is mildew resistant. Blooming for weeks from mid to late fall, this eye-catching beauty stands out in the sunny landscape. Noted for its reliable performance in borders or containers, even when left undivided for several years, this Aster is easy to grow, long-lived, brings cheerful fall color, and is a great source of nectar for butterflies.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for its noteworthy qualities.
  • Typically grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) and 2-3 ft. wide (60-90 cm). May need some support. Deer and rabbit resistant!
  • Thrives in full sun or partial shade, in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Moist, rich soils are preferred. Provide good air circulation to avoid foliage diseases such as powdery mildew. Drought tolerant!
  • Vital ingredient of late summer and fall borders, cottage gardens, prairies, or butterfly gardens. Great for containers too! Asters are also valued for the excellent quality of their cut flowers.
  • Asters are a must if you are trying to attract birds or butterflies!
  • Pinch back stems before mid-summer to promote bushiness, produce a greater number of flowers, and control the plant height (to avoid flopping by the plant). Asters may self-seed if grown in ideal conditions. Cutting back after flowering will prevent undesired self-seeding.
  • Propagate by division in spring
