Soft Pink Late-Season Colour for Autumn Borders

Compact growth, rich late-season colour, and dependable perennial performance define the Aster Alpha Light Pink. This variety brings fresh energy to the garden from late summer into autumn, just as many other plants begin to fade. It produces masses of classic daisy-like flowers in a soft light pink hue with bright golden-yellow centres, held above bushy clumps of fresh green foliage that remain neat and well-structured throughout the season.

All plants are supplied as large, well-established, garden-ready 2-litre rootballs in their nursery pots, professionally grown in premium peat-free compost to ensure strong root development. Flowering prolifically at a valuable point in the gardening calendar, these asters provide a gentle contrast and refined texture to autumn displays. With a naturally compact, upright habit, they are ideally suited to front-of-bed planting and mixed perennial displays where they provide a vital late-season nectar source for bees and butterflies.
