  • Notes

'September Ruby' is a aster cultivar that blooms from late summer to late fall, with vivid ruby rose flowers with large yellow-orange centers on tall arching stems with rich green, lance-shaped foliage. Wonderful at the back of a perennial border or in front of taller ornamental grasses, for a fabulous late season show. I've planted tricolor ajuga at its feet, and as it gets cold, the ajuga turns more pink and matches the pink of the aster. It was actually just dumb luck, and it was gorgeous.
