Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Pötschke'
New England aster or hairy michaelmas daisy
Vivid, lipstick-pink daisy-like flowers with yellow centres erupt from late summer to mid-autumn. The petals are tightly packed, making the flowers more showy than many asters and therefore it's an excellent choice for adding a vibrant splash of colour at the end of the season. This feisty cultivar also shows a good resistance to mildew, which surely must place it near the very top of the must-have list.
