Densely packed clusters of clear light blue flowers provide outstanding color in the garden from late summer into fall. Since this species has a dwarf, compact habit, it will not require staking. 'Wood's' selections have shown excellent resistance to mildew and rust.

Care: This is a New York Aster so it is not very susceptible mildew & rust resistance. Unlike other asters, early season pruning to increase the blooms is not necessary. A prolific bloomer in its own right.
