Aster laterifolius Autumn flower It has spreading mats ofA sweet and nice aster. Calico aster. This plant is a delight for humans and pollinators alike in late summer early autumn. The stiff, relatively short (60 70cm) stems hold myriads of twinkling pinkish white, fluffy centered flowers. Great for the edge of a border. Meadows or gravel gardens. I have mine in sand and it does so well. It does not spread or cause seedling problems. Late October onwards.
