I love my New York Asters. Aren’t they just lovely? The flowers are only about an inch across and they don’t bloom until mid September or so each year.

Even though we’re nearing the end of October my New York asters are still going strong.

I’ve only got one of these plants. I must remember to look up how to divide the plant during the winter and then I can go out in the garden come spring and hopefully divide the clump into three or four pieces. I’d love to have one or two of these 2 to 3 feet tall Asters “bushes” growing at the front of the house.
