Aromatic Aster is already a staple of the garden, but the 'Fanny' selection is incomparable. When most other flowers have begun to fade, this breathtaking selection is a particularly late bloomer that lights up the landscape well into November. Profusions of vibrant lavender-blue blooms completely blanketing the fragrant, mounding foliage, creating a spectacular show each fall. A true pollinator magnet, ‘Fanny’ Aromatic Aster buzzes with colorful cornucopia of bees, butterflies, and hover flies.
