  • Description

  • Notes

'Alma Potschke' is another aster hybrid that blooms late summer into fall, with quarter-sized, bright rosy-pink daisy-like flowers; a great contrast to the typical russets and muted oranges of fall. This is a large aster, growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, so give it the room it will need. Use in a perennial border, shrub or foundation border, and with ornamental grasses.
