Perennial or Hardy Asters are distinctly flowers 
of autumn providing a maze of bloom in shades of 
blue and purple. While primarily plants for garden 
effect, they are also useful for cutting and decorative 
purposes. Asters are very easy to cultivate and 
enjoy a good position in the back of the border. 
They should be divided every year or two into small 
clumps if the best results are desired.
