Aster belgi Alba
Aster belgi Alba produces an abundance of pure white daisy-like flowers with sunny yellow centres, creating a bright and clean look for the late-Summer and Autumn garden. This reliable perennial is highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies.
Ideal for cottage-style gardens, perennial borders, and wildlife-friendly spaces. It also makes a striking addition to cut flower arrangements. Thrives in full sun or light shade, preferring moist but well-drained soil.
Place plants 30–40 cm apart for a dense but airy display. Grows to around 60 cm in height, with a bushy yet upright growth habit that maintains neatness throughout the season.
Trimming: Cut back stems to ground level in late autumn or early spring to encourage new growth.
Deadheading: Remove faded flowers to extend the flowering period.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring, ensuring not to over-fertilise to avoid weak, leggy growth.
Watering: Ensure consistent watering during dry periods, particularly in summer, as asters prefer moist but well-drained soil.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids and treat with horticultural oil if necessary.
Disease Management: Monitor for powdery mildew and leaf spot; improve air circulation and treat with an appropriate fungicide.
