An Heirloom plant, Paeony Asters have huge double blooms that resemble a Peony. The Paeony Aster has a much rounder, fuller flower than other types of Asters. Needle Asters are very rare and unique, making them very desirable and hard to find.
In the garden, they will attract bees & butterflies, or you can enjoy them indoors. Their long stems and long-lasting flowers make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.

My zoysia grass suffered over the winter and I went on a limb to buy a few small bags of seed to repair some bald spots in my lawn. Much to my surprise the seed is coming out after a week and I am expecting wonderful results. Happy camper.
