Aster 'Coombe Fishacre'
Aster 'Coombe Fishacre'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Large Band Pot
Award of Merit Aster from England which makes a profuse cloud of small lavender white flowers in large billowy display. This is pretty nice as far as Asters are concerned and we just let it do it's thing out on our border. As we don't cut it back in early summer to make it bushy, this becomes a nice 4' tall bit of unfettered glee in late summer.
Aster 'Kylie'
Aster 'Kylie'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Large Band Pot
Award of Merit Aster from England which makes a profuse cloud of small pale pink flowers in large billowy display on arching stems. Nice tall stems and thin fine-textured leaves adds to the whole package. Pretty exceptional in the realm of Asters and one which Carol Klein calls "an immensely pretty plant". 'Kylie' is also a rare interspecific hybrid between Aster novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Potschke' and Aster ericoides 'White Heather'. We know Asters have been segregated into a bunch of unpleasant sounding genera but we're not there yet.
Aster 'Mary's White'
Aster 'Mary's White'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Choice white Aster that our friend Jim Fox got from Beth Chatto and shared a wee bit with us. This was found at the Beth Chatto nursery by Beth's daughter Mary and we are guessing that it must be pretty damned good to be named such. We hope to introduce Aster 'Canela' and 'Callie' next year after our own daughters. 'Mary's White' has a good constitution with sturdy stems and good-sized white flowers not surprisingly.
Aster 'Vasterival'
Aster 'Vasterival'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Our thanks to one of horticulture's good guys, Jim Fox for bringing us a plant of this lovely Aster from one of his trips to the UK.  We'll have to go with him some time to learn how to balance plant shopping and carousing but now that we think on it, all of us regard plant shopping as carousing..........we can't be getting old - no, we're just wiser.  After all, that Aster will still be there in the morning.  This was named for Princess Sturdza's garden at Le Vasterival in France and that should be recommendation enough.  Neither pink nor lavender but firmly positioned in that descriptive Bermuda Triangle of the in-between which allows it to mingle effortlessly with a broad palette of colors.  A vigorous grower to 5' with deep royal plum colored stems and flowers for weeks in September.
Aster aff. yunnanensis MD97
Aster aff. yunnanensis
Price: $12.00 In Stock

4" Pot
A very attractive introduction by us from Yunnan if we do say so. Broad lightly hairy leaves in a dense clump with lots of large soft lavender daisy flowers fringed heavily in very fine petals surround a prominent dark "cone". Doesn't re-bloom - just does it right the first time. We would welcome having the right name on this!
Aster cordifolia 'White Chief'
Aster cordifolia 'White Chief'
Price: $12.00 (Out of Stock)

Large Band Pot
Our buddy Jim Fox brought us a bit of this new Aster cordifolius hybrid from England and upon checking the 2011-2012 RHS Plantfinder, we see it has only one source which is the National Collection for Asters at Old Court Nurseries. We were quite pleased by this as you might imagine and also pleased to see that we can still bust into a reasonable Snoopy dance. We carefully nurtured this treasure and as soon as it got some size, we immediately cut it to bits to be able to offer it to you. We have no garden experience with this yet due to the repeated decapitations but anything described as having "clouds of small white flowers in October" works for us. A tall grower to 6' unless you kneecap it in June to make it shorter and bushier. We tend to go tall.
Aster ericoides 'Pink Cloud'
Aster ericoides 'Pink Cloud'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This repetitive lauding of our friend Jim Fox for bringing us cool Asters from the UK could become wearisome and we promise to stop after just a few more.  This selection of Aster ericoides was granted the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society and in the UK this is the horticultural equivalent of being knighted.  We are unlikely to be knighted anytime soon but we can have this distinguished Aster in our gardens.  This is a lower and bushier plant getting just 3 feet high but that 3 feet is a glorious billow of thousands of small light pink flowers in the fall once it reaches maturity.

Aster novi-belgii 'Autumn Rose'
Aster novi-belgii 'Autumn Rose'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
An uncommon Aster brought to us from the UK by that warp and weft of the NW horticultural scene, Jim Fox. Jim has passed along many treasures to us and we are happy to spread the love. This is a vigorous and floriferous plant with Fall flowers of a good rosy pink on 4' stems and nothing says Fall to us like.........well, really, it is the yellows and oranges and reds that we think of but why not shake up tradition a little? Listed by only two nurseries in the 2011-2012 RHS Plantfinder.
Aster novi-belgii 'Blue Eyes'
Aster novi-belgii 'Blue Eyes'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Uncommon and exceptional selection brought back from England for us by that discerning horticulturist and Northwest garden icon Mr. Jim Fox whose eye for beauty is well known among the NW cognoscenti. He can stray to the flamboyant trashy but not in this instance. Big rich blue flowers.
