Rainjustlearning, it's aster frikartii monch, the best aster but one called Little Carlow, that I have in my front garden, is a beauty. The colour is really very bright. Dove, a group of aster frik monch would be amazing ...for me it flowers for months. I have it in full sun and in fairly shady positions too. I have it next to a group,of echinacea Tiki Torch in front garden. What plans do you have in your front garden?
