Plant description
Masses of yellow-centred purple daisies, each up to 5cm across, appear on these compact and mildew-resistant asters. Plant them in clumps or more informal drifts throughout the front of the border and they will give you a good couple of months of colour. Team them with pinks or softer shades of purple as well as silver.

How to care for Aster amellus Veilchenkönigin:
Stake with bamboo canes or brushwood in early spring. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. After flowering cut the flowered stems to the ground and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or horse manure around the base of the plant.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
