Aster Gremlin Lavender Blue is a flower of uncommon charm, the sort that lends a quiet grace to the late summer garden when many blooms have begun to tire. Its generous, fully double flowers unfurl in the softest shades of lavender kissed with blue, each bloom adorned with delightfully curled and twisted petals that give it an almost hand-crafted appearance. Standing proudly upon sturdy stems, it is a splendid choice for the herbaceous border and an absolute treasure for cutting, lasting admirably in the vase. The bees pay it regular visits, and as the days grow shorter, it continues to bloom with steadfast elegance, bringing a gentle, old-fashioned beauty that never seems to fall out of favour.
