Aster x frikartii 'Mönch' is a garden gem that rewards you with an extraordinary, season-long spectacle of large, eye-catching lavender-blue daisies, bedazzled with golden yellow centers. Often celebrated as the Monch Aster, this perennial is a garden hardy that stands proud and lush throughout the year, shooting up to a robust 2-3 feet, both in height and width. Clad in a mantle of dark green, lance-shaped leaves, the Monch Aster's tireless display of vibrant blooms begins from midsummer, painting a colourful canvas all the way till the chill of the first frost. Versatile and unfussy, it thrives in sunny to slightly shady nooks, while its respected resistance to disease, deers, and rabbits promises an undisturbed, praiseworthy performance.
