Description:
Aster x frikartii 'Monch' is a herbaceous perennial which forms a large, spreading mound of dark green foliage covered in late summer in masses of lavender-blue, daisy-like flowers. One of the most reliable and easy-to-grow asters, it generally does not need staking and has good resistance to powdery mildew. Looks lovely in a border or cottage garden style planting, and flowers well into early autumn.
