Aster oblongifolius 'October Skies' Forms a Low Hedge
Aster oblongifolius 'October Skies' is a small aster with bountiful deep blue flowers from late September through October. It is very tolerant of drought. It best feature is its luxurious habit. It grows about 18" x 18" and forms an excellent low hedge.
A lovely aster I used to grow, before I started gardening on wet mud. Why is it so hard to some blues with a camera?
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at what a nice form this aster took on. Not sure how to capture this blues! Thanks for the comment.
Oh my, that's a nice one. I love the draping - nice form plus it would cover any aster-ish black legs :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cyndy,
ReplyDeleteI have found 'October Skies' to be a good choice in front of other taller asters with nasty legs. Thanks for commenting.
