Aster tataricus 'Jindai'
Aster tataricus 'Jindai'
Common Name: tatarian daisy

Large leaves (to 2') emerge in the spring and provide a bold backdrop for earlier blooming perennials. In the fall, numerous flower stalks rise to 4 or 5 feet and each is covered with 1" sky blue daisy-like flowers. Flowering is later than many other asters and this species often provides brilliant color until frost. Found by Rick Darke and Skip March at the Jindai Botanical Gardens. This cultivar is shorter than the species and less likely to require staking.

Height: 3-5 Feet
Spread: 1-3 Feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8
