description for "Aster: Aster novi-belgii 'Alert'"
The stunning double rosy-red, yellow-eyed flowers of this variety are truly exciting. A vigorous, ground cover in its growth habit , 'Alert' thrives with little attention, needing only average garden soil and regular watering. Its extreme cold hardiness makes it valuable in more northerly areas of the West. Surround a clump of Boltonia 'Snowbank' with this plant for a colorful fall display. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
