I've been really impressed with how they've survived the disaster that this summer has been.<br /><br />My favorite asters, which would pair well with Helianthus maximiliani, are aromatic asters, Aster oblongifolia. HCG has a short cultivar with a light pinky purple color called Dream of Beauty that was the first to bloom for me this year. I've also got October Sky and Radon's Favorite, but I've lost the tags and I don't remember which is which any more. One's a little taller; both are extremely hardy and a very pretty purple with yellow centers.Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.com
