Good plant #128 - Aster 'Little Carlow'


This group of plants are loved for their late flowering right through Autumn. This particular hybrid variety is shorter than some varieties and very floriferous.

Although it's not tall, it's worth staking on an exposed site.

I get rid of all the old growth in spring, cutting almost to the ground.

This plant prefers fairly moist soil but will grow in all but a very shady site.
