Aster Peony Mix

The aster that arrives in August with the confidence of a flower that knows it is the finest thing left in the late-summer garden. Peony Mix produces fully double, incurved peony-form blooms in a sophisticated cool palette of deep violet, vibrant pink, soft lavender, and pure white — densely rounded 8–10cm heads on sturdy 60cm stems that are outstanding for cutting.

The peony-flowered China aster at its most refined. Listed on the RHS Plants for Pollinators.
