I’m happy to welcome back this aster that I bought on a whim last summer. ‘Peter Harrison’ grows in a compact, bushy clump just loaded with lavender-pink flowers.
This is a New York aster that grows about 15-18 inches tall and wide and starts blooming for me in early September. I missed most of the show this year, but I did capture some before and after photos. Look at all those buds waiting to pop!
And this is what it looked like several weeks later without deadheading and in the midst of a severe dry spell. It’s still going strong. I love that this plant is tidy and well-behaved. Some of my other asters are sprawling all over the place right now.
‘Peter Harrison’ grows in full sun to part-sun and is hardy in Zones 4-8.
