An easy, reliable and tough hybrid (S. novae-angliae x S. ericoides) with arching stems carrying large sprays of thousands of small pink flowers in late summer and autumn. Best cascading down a slope or over a wall. 50cm. Sun.
Sometimes listed as a cultivar of Symphyotrichum (Aster) novae-angliae but it is clearly a hybrid and I've spoken to someone who deliberatley made the same cross and produced a very similar plant.
Formerly Aster 'Kylie'.
