Aster alpinus | Pinkie
Aster alpinus 'Pinkie' is a low growing variety, only reaching around 5 - 15cm in height. It has beautiful pink daisy like flowers popping up above the green foliage.
Asters belong to the Asteraceae family which also includes achilleas (yarrow) chrysanthemums and sunflowers. The Aster genus contains over 600 species and thousands of hybrids.
Pinkie is easy to grow and adds a cheery note to the cottage garden. A lovely plant to attract butterflies to your garden.
Pinkie will thrive in full sun or will cope with some partial shade and enjoys medium moisture levels but does like a well-drained position - its preferred growing conditions are moist rich soils - we add mulch to retain moisture here. Plants are drought tolerant once established.
A good choice for a coastal garden, cottage garden, perennial border and of course a must if you are wanting to create a butterfly garden.
