Aster ‘Pompom Gusford’ is a charming variety of Michaelmas daisy (Aster novi-belgii), prized in gardens for its dense clusters of cheerful, daisy-like flowers that bring vibrant colour late in the season. Excellent in cottage gardens, herbaceous borders, and late-summer displays. Ideal for cut flowers – long-lasting and lovely in autumn arrangements. Very attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing valuable nectar late in the season when few other flowers remain.
