Aster 'Lady in Black'

£11.50

(now symphyotrichum)

Striking, late-flowering perennial grown as much for its dramatic foliage as its clouds of tiny blooms. Dark, almost black-purple leaves form a bushy framework, which becomes smothered in masses of small, pale pink to white daisies with deep pink centres from late summer into autumn.

This variety has a graceful, branching habit and brings a light, airy feel to the border despite its rich colouring. It’s especially effective as a contrast plant among grasses and paler-toned perennials, and provides a valuable source of late nectar for pollinators.

Tough, mildew-resistant, and easy to grow, 'Lady in Black' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. A fantastic choice for adding late-season drama and structure.

Sold currently in 2-litre pots.

  • Height & Spread: 100–120cm x 60–90cm

  • Position: Full sun

  • Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil

  • Flowerng Time: August to October

Gardens Illustrated 2019 Badge

One of Gardens Illustrated's 100 best plant nurseries in the UK: "Billy Carruthers is mad about peonies and has over 300 varieties on the nursery. In recent years he's exhibited them at the Chelsea Flower Show. However, they're just the tip of the iceberg for this nursery, midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, Central Scotland"
