24-36" tall x 24-30" wide. KICKIN® Carmine Red Aster is perfect for adding mounds of late-season color to sunny beds and borders. Selected for their compact growth habit and abundance of blooms, Carmine Red flowers from late-summer into mid-autumn attracting bees and butterflies to their golden-eyed blooms. Plant KICKIN® Carmine Red Aster in drifts among butterfly gardens or naturalize in meadows. The compact form also lends itself to rock gardens and containers. Plant alongside ornamental grasses and other fall-blooming perennials for an eye-catching display. Easy to grow in full sun and rich, moist soils. Provide ample moisture and adequate drainage. Good air circulation keeps the lush green foliage disease-free. Carmine Red makes a long-lasting cut flower for autumn arrangements. An excellent native selection that is long lived and resistant to deer and rabbit browsing.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
