Kalimeris incisa 'Blue Star'
Aster or Japanese aster
Masses of pale, mauve-blue Aster daisies, each up to 5cm across, appear on these compact and mildew-resistant aster like plants. 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.
