My favourite two “blue” asters are Little Carlow and Helen Picton. They both seem trouble free and form lovely clumps which are still going very strong in mid September.
Thanks, Rosy! I hope you’ll talk about Queen Anne’s Lace. I love them and they grow wild around me (US Pacific Northwest Zone 8b). This year I’ve dug some up from the roadside and I think they’ve successfully transplanted into a couple of pots. Now I’ve picked a ton of the dried flowers and I THINK there are seeds inside to harvest ???? The flowers lasted very well in vases this past Summer! I’ve always liked them but never thought to snatch some up and put them in my garden. Can I save seeds from these? Will they behave in my garden? Are they actually a carrot? Thanks. XOjennyinseattle
Thanks a lot for the informative and great video. 😊 Do you have any information on which one of the asters is slug-resistant? I'm having a lot of trouble with these this year... 'Purple Dome' and 'Pink Star' have been on their menu and nothing of them left. Aster ageratoides var adustus 'Nanus' however survived and is in full bloom. I would also love to hear more about slug resistant perennials.
What I love about asters is that when you come back from summer holidays they are in bloom
Asters are very underated. Im trying to get a perenial type, as the annuals are showy but low growers and last for only one summer.
Thanks, Jo.😊
I’ve got the aster Frikartii Monch and that’s a perennial and is beautiful.
great videos, concise and informative, thank you so much

Beautiful! So fun to learn these different varieties! Thank you!
The flowers are so beautiful, I give you a thumbs up❤👍👍👍
If your thinking about inspiration for another vid, plants that spread by shoots rather than seed could be fun, such as this Eurybia × herveyi.
Thank you.
Thanks, Rosy!

The Symphyotrichum cordifolium is usually slug resistant
Thank you very much for the advice, then I will try my luck with these.
just ordered monk
Do you know where I can purchase/order a nice size plant of the frikartii Monch Aster?
