Description

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.
