Aster novae-angliae ‘Alma Potschke’

Bring rich late-season color to the garden with this tall New England Aster. ‘Alma Potschke’ produces masses of bright rose-pink, daisy-like flowers with sunny yellow centers from September into late fall, providing color when many other perennials are beginning to fade.
