| I bought a couple of these yesterday as they will be great for a front border for late summer early fall. But I don't recall seeing mention on GW to such a small ASTER. Any idea what it might be? |

| mmmm, I think it might be A.falconeri - I have known several small asters, ranging from the common a.dumosus ( practically annuals for me) through to a (very short-lived) south african, a.natalensis, from back in my scree garden days. Should be hardy, but will require that mythical moist but well-drained soil. Do keep us up to date on its performance. |

| Do keep us up to date on its performance. UPDATE: Here it is 3 months later. It has grown lots in diameter and still remained very short. But the 'washed out' pink of the blooms.is not so special. |
