Collection of 3 New England asters - Grand Autumn Asters

This Collection of 3 New England asters offers a colourful, abundant and prolonged flowering during several weeks at the end of the season. In large flower beds, these tall perennials allow you to compose a magnificent autumn symphony in pink, purple and red. The New England asters are quite resistant to powdery mildew and they thrive in humid climates and heavy, clayey and fertile soils. They also offer better performance in flower beds than the New Belgium asters.

The collection consists of:

- 1 New England Aster 'Rosa Sieger', which is distinguished by the power of its flowering and the delicacy of its pink colour. From late summer to the first frost, this very beautiful plant is covered with bouquets of small daisies that range from fresh pink to very pale pink. This medium-sized variety measures between 90 cm (35in) and 1.20 m (4ft) in height when in flower.

- 1 New England Aster 'Purple Dome' with bright purple-violet flowers. Unlike other New England Asters, this one is quite compact, it won't exceed 50 cm (20in) in height and width. It should preferably be placed in front of the other tall asters.

- 1 New England Aster 'Andenken an Alma Pötschke' with raspberry-red flowers. It is one of the best varieties among the reds and its offspring is numerous. It is a tall aster that can reach a height of 1.50 m (5ft) when in flower.

These beautiful asters are planted at the back of flower beds to extend the flowering season in the garden until autumn, but you can also plant them in large pots to brighten up the surroundings of your house. In the ground, create a country atmosphere around your asters with tall perennials (Gauras, Rudbeckia, perennial sunflowers, inulas) and small bushes (landscape roses, shrubby salvias), or even grasses such as Miscanthus or tufted hair grasses that appreciate the same growing conditions.
