They make great fresh cut flower bouquets. Sometimes referred to as New York Asters, they grow nicely in containers. Butterflies find the blossoms irresistible. Asters bloom profusely in late Summer. Full sunshine is ideal. The Wood's family of asters are special in that they remain compact and the foliage is very disease-resistant. Only reproduced vegetatively so that the superior qualities can be maintained. These are not inferior seedlings.
