Aster is the birth flower for the month of September. If you were born in September, then Aster is your flower. In addition to representing daintiness, asters are also known as a symbol of love.

If you need an end of season pick me up, try an Aster Milady. Show off these robust, bushy, wilt resistant annuals that are perfect for a stunning display in the front of a sunny border or in containers. They look fantastic in either mixed borders or standing alone as a brilliant accent. They make a superb cut flower with a long lasting vase life.. These "Queens" have 3" blooms in a deep blue color. They resemble a Chrysanthemum. This aster is very heat resistant and virtually worry free. They will produce non-stop blooms from summer until the first hard frost in the fall.
