Characteristics
Aster are flowering plants with daisy-like blooms sold in pot sizes suitable for garden centre retail and seasonal displays. They offer an extended flowering period from late summer through to autumn, providing colour when many other plants are fading. The compact bushy growth habit makes them ideal for patio containers, borders, and mixed planting schemes. Available in purple, pink, white, and mixed colour trays, they appeal to customers seeking reliable autumn colour.
Availability
We source Aster from The Netherlands with peak availability during summer and autumn months. Currently available in purple, pink, white, and mix trays to suit various retail requirements. Check our webshop for current pot sizes and tray options.
Fun Fact
Aster flowers can continue blooming well into autumn and even survive light frosts, making them one of the last flowering plants to provide colour before winter. This extended seasonal appeal makes them valuable for garden centres looking to maintain customer interest during the quieter autumn months.
