Description

Symphyotrichum 'Herbstgruss vom Bresserhof') brings a cheerful and airy feel to borders, cottage gardens, or meadow-style plantings, with its delicate petals seeming to dance in the breeze.

Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, Aster novi-belgii 'Herbstgruss vom Bresserhof' forms neat, upright clumps that are easy to combine with other late-flowering perennials or grasses. Its long-lasting blooms ensure that Aster 'Herbstgruss vom Bresserhof' remains a standout feature while other summer favourites fade, adding structure and colour to autumn borders.

Useful information
-
Soak the Aster 'Herbstgruss vom Bresserhof' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Michaelmas daisy" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
