Karensusan63's Garden

Michelmas Daisy

Genus: Aster.

Species: Aster frikartii 'Monch'.

To replace one I lost when I moved it. Planted beside the deciduous scented azalea, under the cotoneaster beside the deep pink flowering some shrub near the back fence. You can clear away the dead growth after the frosts have killed it. It's herbaceous..it comes back from under ground in the spring. It will get bigger every year, but you don't need to split it, just let it grow.
