Aster 'Little Carlow'
Aster 'Little Carlow' is an amazing plant species. It has bright, vivid purple petals that surround an orange-yellow center - a great contrast! This plant blooms in late summer and early autumn, making it great for an extended season of vibrant colour. The blooms are small enough to be suitable for borders and rock gardens, but large enough to make a big impact. The foliage is evergreen, providing a backdrop for the flowers all year. The Aster 'Little Carlow' is tolerant to heat and drought, making it easy to grow and low maintenance.
