A perfectly huge profusion of pale pink Harrington's Pink fall asters. I trim all my tall asters back in June by about ⅓ which results in them being shorter and absolutely smothered in flowers. The bees and other pollinators love these flowers.

Photo of a tall, deep purple and very striking New England Aster. The central array of florets is yellow until bumblebees collect its pollen, then the cone turns bronze to brown in colour

This variety is called September Ruby and is a dramatic and exuberant variety. It's a deep magenta shade that really pops.

And my absolute favourite is ‘Alma Potschke’, which is about the colour of Pepto Bismol or pink peppermints. It's growing with Black Hawks big bluestem, a deep burgundy almost black tall perennial grass.

It's almost autumn, and the fall New England Asters are showing off splendidly. I have a few varieties in the garden but also some of them hybridize on their own. #bloomscrolling #blueskygardens #gardensky #gardening #fallasters #flowers
