"just planted it this year and it already is covered with blooms"
"I planted these for the first time this past spring. They did not grow to their mature height, but they were covered for weeks in bright flowers. I expect them to be bigger next year and look more like the photo. They really are profuse bloomers and are very lovely in the garden."
"Three little starter planter quickly grew into a tidy low mound and are now blooming profusely, all in one summer. My favorite aster."
"The colors are fun to admire."
