The low-mounding perennial, less than two feet tall, provides stunning intense color in the fall that contrasts with the Kelvin Floodlight Dahlias planted behind it.

I’ve had the Dragon Hybrid Aster in my garden for years and love to see the honeybees come by to drink nectar on sunny fall days.

When I planted the irises two years ago, I couldn’t wait to see them in bloom.

But they didn’t bloom last year. And I moved them to a new location last fall.

Based on their blooming this spring, I guess the irises liked their new location!
