A cheerful bloomer for balconies, terraces, or borders during the summer and late summer months is the Aster Showmakers®, a compact plant available in a color variation of white, lilac, magenta, and purple. A very attractive feature of this Aster is its beautifully filled, pompom-like flowers that contrast nicely with the dark foliage.
Consumers can use the Showmakers® in various ways: as a solitary plant in a pot, combined with others in a dish on the patio table, in a balcony box, or in the border among other garden plantings. The consumer can enjoy this Aster for a long time, as it easily blooms well into late summer. And the bonus: in borders, the Showmakers® are reasonably winter-hardy, up to -10°C. So normally consumers can look forward to the beautifully filled, pompom-like flowers again the following year.
For optimal blooming and to ensure that consumers can enjoy the Aster Showmakers® for a long time, it’s helpful to know that a spot in sun to partial shade is preferred and that occasionally removing spent flowers promotes continued blooming.
