Plant details
At a time when many border plants are starting to wind down, this little beauty turns on the charm and brings rich colour to the autumn months. Unlike a lot of the Michaelmas daisies, this one has a useful dwarf habit which makes it easy to fit into any garden. Its plentiful blue daisy-like flowers look a treat with yellow rudbeckias and red Kaffir lilies. Powdery mildew can be a problem.
