Symphyotrichum novi-belgii 'Marie Ballard', as it is now known, is a captivating tall perennial that brings vertical allure to any mixed border. Standing at a majestic height of 90cm, it is ideally suited for mid to back border placement. Delight in its exquisite double flowers, adorning upright stems with a soft lilac-blue hue. The shiny, deep green leaves provide an enchanting backdrop. This perennial is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful addition to any garden seeking to support pollinators. Bask it in full sun for optimal growth.

This hardy perennial gracefully retreats in autumn, only to emerge anew in the rejuvenating embrace of spring. As the new leaves begin to unfurl, ensure to prune away the old foliage. Avoid confining the plant by allowing ample space between neighboring plants, granting it the freedom it deserves.

Garden Wildlife makes every effort to ensure that the goods you ordered get to you undamaged and in a timely fashion.
