Looks wonderful Lin. When you get a chance can you post a picture taken closer to one of the plants? (What are the dimensions of them right now?)

Very attractive, Lin.

Hi there,
thank for your nice comments, rouge and sunnyB,

it took a while, but here you go, a close-up of the flowers.

I need to go back there soon, the owner wanted to stake the tall Asters carefully which will cause a slightly different look of the border.

and here two plants in the background of the border

bye, Lin

oh, and here is a pic from the end of August where you can tell vaguely the shape of those Asters, they have few very woody stems coverd with fine branches, the green ones in the background

ah, well, sorting my pics, but that should be it,

bye, Lin

Almost identical the typical white ones that I see blooming in the fencerows here. I think flopping is pretty much their nature, but boy do they put on the mid fall flowers.

I have the heath asters getting ready for their show here. I am interested by this plant. I like the floppiness. I wonder if their toughness is connected to where this variety was found and what it was hybridized with. My heath aster is a spreader. I don't mind that since I have a large garden. I found myself with fingerer hovering over the ADD TO CART button earlier this spring.

I also like those brown walls that look like rammed dirt, but I doubt they are since I would imagine that an unprotected rammed earth would end up as a pile of mud in Switzerland .
