    I kind of forgot about this plant. It is almost hidden amongst the bee balm in the summer and the obedient plant now. I was surprised when I checked the other day and it was in bloom.

    I love this plant. You can pull up a bit and stuff it in the ground and it will establish itself with little care. My kind of plant. Little effort and big payoff.

    I do love asters. They make a relatively fair showing here in the spring and then just sit there brown and half dead the rest of the year. I buy them, enjoy the flowers and usually pull them up thinking they are a weed,
    Yours are incredible.
