Description
'Alert' Aster is a member of the famous dwarf aster group. Growing a dwarf aster is one of the very best ways you can assure some fall blooms for your meadow or garden. They are simple to handle and hardy as oaks. 'Alert' Aster stays short, and will fill it's space with a neat, low green tuft that bursts into bloom in late summer with deep purple to crimson, starry flowers. After about two years, you can dig up two or three plants, and divide them into twenty...and then replant yourself a huge patch, or have yards of edging.
The dwarf Aster dumosis (now Symphyotrichum dumosum) hybrids resulted from a cross between wild Aster nova novi-belgii, the much taller New York Aster, with another wild aster from the Pacific northwest.
Planting & Care
Shipping
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.
