Aster 'Wood's Light Blue'
Aster
This member of the Wood's Aster group has the typical low rounded habit and profuse blooming associated with all three. 'Wood's Blue' has perfectly clean foliage, and in the early fall it is covered with clear medium blue flowers with gold centers. Bred for compact habit, long bloom period and heavy flowering, all of the Woods Asters are outstanding pot crops and should be used far more often as a sturdy perennial alternative for mums.

Interesting Notes
To the best of our ability, we've tracked this group of remarkable selections to Ed Wood of Portland, Oregon. He apparently was a passionate apple breeder, but worked on these on the side. They were introduced after his death by Lynn Caton.
