Kalimeris 'Shogun'
Shogun aster
Shogun is a lovely foliage plant with creamy yellow leaf margins that age to white. A compact, slowly spreading plant that looks great in a pot and fills in nicely around larger perennials in the garden. Lavender flowers with yellow centers cover the foliage in late summer to early fall. Flowers are similar to Boltonia and Aster, in fact it can be a little difficult to differentiate between them. Very easy to grow in a variety of soils and situations.
