Garden Plant: KICKIN Aster Lilac Blue
KICKIN Aster Lilac Blue
Product Description: KICKIN Aster Lilac Blue
Gorgeous, Fall-Blooming Butterfly Resource
This lovely perennial has an important job to do. As monarch butterflies prepare to make their long migration in September and October, they are looking for resource plants for fuel. KICKIN Lilac Blue Aster acts as a critical food source for your beloved butterflies.
But honestly, we know you would probably plant an old tire in your garden if it meant helping the butterflies. No need for that! KICKIN Lilac Blue Aster rewards your dedication to nature’s wonderful “flying flowers” with a bountiful, beautiful floral display.
You’ll love the stunning, clear purply-blue blooms with their cheerful yellow button eye smack dab in the center of each flower. What a great contrast color to the golden orange and yellow tones you see everywhere in autumn.
Asters are well known, tall native plants with a tendency to… flop. Not so with the KICKIN series. Plant scientists in the Netherlands improved on the North American native aster. You won’t need to pinch your KICKIN back. Use this near the front of the border in a massed group, or as a thriller in your autumn containers.
This is a prolific bloomer and extends your garden season by several weeks. Wise gardeners always plant for the fall season, because it’s not so darn hot. You can enjoy the scenic backdrop with friends and family without wilting.
We have a limited inventory of these hard-working plants. We always sell out of our blue flowered selections, so please place your order now. The butterflies need your help!
