Description

Dazzling displays of lavender-blue petals and golden centres, lasting from mid-summer to the end of autumn. If you're looking for a plant that punches well above its weight for impact, ease and longevity, then Aster frikartii ‘Mönch’ is the one.

Unlike many perennials that offer just a few fleeting weeks of interest, this Aster delivers a sensational season-long show. Flowering from July right through to October, it's one of the longest blooming asters you'll find. The daisy-like flowers have an effortless charm, and their bold lavender-blue tones work beautifully in any border scheme.

It forms a neat clump up to 70cm tall, so is great for mid-border planting. You'll also find it looks fantastic in large pots or as part of a cut flower patch. The blooms last well in a vase too, giving you another way to enjoy their colour.

And the pollinators? They can’t get enough of it. Butterflies and bees flock to this one, making it not just a treat for the eyes, but a real lifeline for wildlife too.

Top Tips
  • Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms.
Care Information
  • These fully-hardy perennials are perfect in both borders and pots.
  • Select a sunny site and plant in moist but well-drained soil.
  • Add mulch after planting to keep soil cool and prevent weeds.
  • The best time to plant is in mid to late spring when the danger of frost has passed.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
