Aster ×frikartii
Frikart's aster is a hardy perennial hybrid of Aster amellus and Aster thomsonii, valued for long-flowering lavender-blue blooms and as a pollinator plant. Grow it in sun with well-drained soil and deadhead to keep it flowering.
Aster × frikartii (or Aster frikartii), called Frikart's aster, is a hybrid of European Michaelmas daisy, Aster amellus, and Thomson's aster, Aster thomsonii (from the western Himalayas). It was created by Swiss plant breeder Carl Ludwig Frikart. Its cultivars 'Mönch' and 'Wunder von Stäfa' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, and are also considered by them to be good plants to attract pollinators.
