Symphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Andenken an Alma Pötschke’ is a vivid New England Aster bearing double, lipstick-pink flowers flushed cerise on upright, robust stems with narrow mid-green leaves. It delivers a long-lasting and intensely colourful display from late summer into autumn.
For a bold combination, mix it with Salvia ‘Blue Spire’ and Oenothera ‘Rosy Shimmers’. It also looks particularly good alongside dark foliage or dark-flowered ornamental grasses such as Molinia caerulea subsp. caerulea ‘Heidebraut’. It performs best in fertile, moist soil in sun or partial shade.
