Aster Hi-no-maru reaches 20 inches (50 cm) in height, has large pompons which are 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) wide and simply loaded with petals. Massive disks of red and blue all centered on a white outer. What a wonderful visual display for both the flower border and the vase. This Aster plant is also irresistible to butterflies. It is easy and fast to grow in the sunny garden, and does best in moist, well-drained soil but is also frost resistant.
