Aster alpinus dolomiticus trough or pot These were used in aA hardy even smaller aster for a sunny but not dry place with good drainage. Seed form 2000m in Bulgaria,5 15 cm Colour a paler pink and smaller leaves than the average A. alpinus. Special for a rock garden or sand bed and trough. This is a diminutive version of the species offered. I believe the flowers are still quite large though. Later flowering too.
