Aster - Alert, 1 Pack
Aster novi‑belgii – Alert
A compact, mound‑forming perennial reaching 10–15″ tall and wide, 'Alert' produces clusters of double-rich crimson‑red daisy‑style blooms with sunny yellow centers from late summer into early fall. Its vivid autumn color makes it a standout in borders, containers, or cut‑flower displays, while its blooms draw butterflies and hummingbirds. Preferring rich, moist, well‑drained soil and full sun, this variety tolerates occasional drought and offers excellent resistance to powdery mildew. Deer and rabbits generally avoid it, adding to its low‑maintenance appeal.
