Kalimeris pinnatifida (False Aster)

Sun to Part SunZone: 6-9 20" tall Origin: Asia

Web-Only! (syn: Asteromoea mongolica) A favorite of the late garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence, this wonderful, slowly spreading perennial arises in spring with 20" tall stems, clothed with apple-green, serrated foliage, then is topped with creamy white, fully double, 1" chrysanthemumesque flowers throughout the summer...whew! If you look closely enough, you will notice a light lavender blush to the lower ring of petals...that's for you designer types. Kalimeris blends well into any perennial border as it works to soften dramatic color contrasts. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
