How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
The Dwarf Asters The famous dwarf aster group is one of the very best ways you can assure some fall bloom for your meadow or garden. Ive grown them all, and they are simple to handle, and hardy as oaks. They stay short and spread rapidly. In fact, if you want to do the work, 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 yards of edging. Before bloom, they're neat low green tufts, so they're great plants all season long.
The dwarf Aster dumosis 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.

"This plant is very beautiful and vigorous. I've been very careful when selecting plants to add to my small garden beds, avoiding anything too aggressive. I would not recommend this plant to anyone who has a small garden and who doesn't want to spend time untangling it's runners from the bulbs and roots of other plants. If you have a large space you'd like to fill quickly with little maintenance, I would absolutely recommend this plant."
"I have begun wildflowers and butterfly garden. I have not previously grown asters. These were planted in the spring and the plants I ordered are thriving. They are full of unopened bloom, so I am anxiously awaiting a beautiful late summer with asters. Thank you"
"Planted with agastache and provided a very compatible color and dense base to prevent toppling. Gradual but reliable bloom build-up to a 2 week peak. Continuing to bloom as early flowers wane. Great and compatible color with oranges and yellows."
"I loved these Aster Wood's Blue, no problem planting and they are growing wonderful, add some early fall color to my beds. I would buy them again! Good service, too. !"
"I lost one of the first plants I received and I called Am. Meadows they immediately sent me a replacement, which is doing great. I am very happy with this company and the quality of plants."
"Massed them between larger shrubs and let them go. They've filled the space with blue flowers with little care."
"Did not expect them to spread so rapidly. Would have selected a different planting location . Can certainly move/divide them since they appear very healthy."
