Young aster/michaelmas daisy plants (Hatfield AL10)

I found some young aster plants which I'd potted up earlier this summer when I dug up some roots. The plants offered are not in flower now, but they flower really late so I expect they will flower this year.

Asters are strong growing herbaceous perennial plants which flower really late and are a magnet for pollinators. They like sun and probably want sharp drainage, but in my garden they put up with heavy clay very well. I have not watered the asters in my garden once this year and they are starting into flower like nothing has happened.

You would need to water these plants to establish them this year.

They are clump forming, and reasonably well behaved, but will spread under the soil if they are happy.
