Aster pilosus var. demotus is a subtle, early-flowering aster producing loose sprays of small, pale lilac to white flowers with soft yellow centres. Blooming from late summer into early autumn, it brings a gentle, naturalistic quality to borders at the very start of the aster season.
With its open habit and fine-textured foliage, this species works beautifully in meadow-style planting, wildlife gardens, and informal borders, where it mingles easily with grasses and other late-summer perennials. Tough, reliable, and excellent for pollinators, it is particularly valuable for extending nectar availability before the main autumn asters come into flower.
excellent, many thanks Peter, Annie
Excellent, as always.
