'Pink Alpine' Aster PPAF has double pink blooms that will delight you during spring and early summer. Each flower has a small yellow center surrounded by layers of pink petals. Aster is the latin name for "star" and 'Pink Alpine' is sure to be the star of your garden. Due to its compact habit, this plant is a great fit for the front border, a small-space garden, or tucking into a container. (Aster alpinus)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Alpine Aster is from the European Alps and Spanish Pyrenees. Alpinus Aster produces large double blooms in spring. It's easy-to-grow, compact and likes well-drained soil.
