Aster oblongifolius Raydon's Favorite 1G

(Aromatic Aster) Also known as Symphyotrichum oblongifolium ‘Raydon’s Favorite.

Outstanding aromatic aster cultivar with a rounded habit and masses of medium blue-violet flowers in late fall. The fragrant foliage and long bloom period make it particularly valuable for extending the season in sunny borders. Thrives in full sun and dry to medium, well-drained soils and shows good tolerance of heat and drought once established.
