Aster lateriflorus is a lively plant with a generous growth habit, covering a small area "on the second floor" above other plants with its long reaching branches that are studded with daisy-like flowers in white and red like pearls on a string, very pretty and very rewarding at this time of year, flowering into November. Although most Asters need an open sunny space, this plant thrives well in partly shady conditions.
Our Aster lateriflorus is called "Lady in Black" , but so far has never shown the dark leaves it is supposed to have. Maybe this is because we planted it in a relatively shady place, in a "Waldrand"-setting where it becomes a loose bush with long branches dancing with their jewelly white daisy-flowers and dark red ruby centres above the decaying fray of the surrounding autumn leaves.
Here you see it behind the small Polygonum affine repeating its red colour.
