Description

Aster novi-belgii 'Rosenpompom' is a robust perennial, which blooms between September and October, with numerous deep pink flowers resembling small pompom daisies. The spreading crown produces branched stems, adorned with lanceolate, dark green and glossy leaves.

 

 

Aster novi-belgii 'Rosenpompom' is a tall Aster, reaching 100 cm (39in) in height. Easy to grow, it brings life to the garden in late summer and early autumn, when most flowering perennials have disappeared. It thrives in a sunny or slightly shaded position, sheltered from strong winds, in rich and moist soil. You can plant this variety at the back of borders, paired with late-flowering perennials such as chrysanthemums and other late-flowering perennials, heucheras with their foliage providing an excellent contrast of warm colours, or grasses with delicate foliage. These asters are also excellent cut flowers.

Aster novi-belgii, from which this charming variety originates, along with the Aster novae-angliae, are the two main species of large asters. Asters belong to the Asteraceae or Composite family, which mostly consists of herbaceous plants. There are numerous floriferous varieties, of all sizes and in an extremely wide range of colours.

There are other species of Asters that bloom at different times of the year. For spring, there are Aster alpinus and Aster tongolensis; for summer, Aster amellus or Aster frikartii; for autumn, Aster cordifolius, Aster dumosus, Aster ericoides, Aster lateriflorus, Aster novae-angliae, or Aster novi-belgii.

Planting and care

Plant Aster novi-belgii 'Rosenpompom' in autumn or spring in rich and moist soil. It enjoys a sunny exposure but tolerates partial shade. Protect it from strong winds that would flatten the clumps. Aster novi-belgii is particularly susceptible to powdery mildew, a fungus that forms a whitish deposit on the foliage and buds, weakening the plant. As a preventive measure, maintain a spacing of at least 70 cm (28in) between the plants and regularly clean around them. Remove affected parts (when possible) as soon as the first signs of the disease appear. Treat preventively from May with organic products. You can pinch the ends of the shoots 15 cm (6in) from the ground towards the end of May to make the plants more compact. To encourage the emergence of new shoots, cut down the faded flowers. To prevent them from breaking under their own weight, it is also advisable to stake tall asters that become top-heavy when flowering.
