Also known as Symphyotrichum novi-belgii 'Professor Anton Kippenberg', this is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial, up to 45cm high, with lance-shaped green leaves. Clustered, daisy-like, semi-double lilac-blue flowerheads, with yellow discs, are borne in late summer and autumn. Thrives in fertile, moist but well drained soil in sun or partial shade. Plants will benefit from mulching in autumn, and division every few years to maintain vigour. Will not tolerate waterlogging in winter.
NOTE: Live plant. Pot size is only an approximate indication of plant size. For shipping to regions beyond Ballarat, this plant will be removed from its pot and shipped bare rooted in moistened coir. Summer orders will be shipped in autumn and winter orders will be shipped in spring. Available all year round for local delivery in Ballarat.
