Professor Kippenberg Aster 1G

Clouds of Soft Lavender-Blue Blooms for Late-Season Color

Introducing Professor Kippenberg Aster, a charming, fine-textured perennial celebrated for its masses of small lavender-blue flowers that appear in late summer through fall. The dainty, daisy-like blooms with bright yellow centers create a light, airy effect, almost like a floral mist, making this a standout for extending seasonal color. With its naturally compact, mounded habit, it’s ideal for borders, containers, and front-of-bed plantings. Grown in a 1-gallon pot, it offers a strong, landscape-ready start.
