Description
Kalimeris incisa is a pretty little floriferous perennial with aster-like flowers.
Kalimeris incisa, sometimes called Japanese aster, is a small perennial from the Asteraceae family. It is native to East Asia. More specifically, it comes from Japan, Korea, Northern China, or Siberia. This variety is an herbaceous perennial with a very bushy habit. The plants reach a height of 60 to 80cm (24 to 32in), but in good conditions, they can sometimes reach 1m (3ft). Each plant forms a mass of oblanceolate, dentate, and dark green leaves, on which a constellation of small inflorescences, 2 to 3cm (1in) in size, appears. This very floriferous perennial produces flowers with few but very slender white ligules that sometimes take on pale-blue tinges. The yellow central disc appears villous due to the prominent florets. The inflorescences are arranged in corymbs. The flowers are strikingly similar to autumn asters and bloom from June to September before giving way to the latter.
By combining kalimeris and asters, one ensures a delicate floral continuum of small stars. A beautiful display can be created when they are planted in borders with old roses like Rosa 'Larissa', or with phlox, echinacea, or Euphorbia characias.
Kalimeris incisa is very hardy, it is said to withstand temperatures as low as -35°C (-31°F). This seems true considering its origins. However, this will not be tested in our climates, as such extremes are rare in our latitudes. It appreciates moist and rich soils but has no particular requirements. Kalimeris make excellent cut flowers. Feel free to cut them to encourage continuous blooming throughout the summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
