Selected by 'The Primrose Path' nursery in Pennsylvania, USA, primarily for its lighter, airier, and more open form compared to other S. cordifolium cultivars. A tough and drought tolerant Aster, even in dry shade, but extremely happy in full sun also, as here. Sprays of dainty lilac flowers with soft-yellow turning maroon centres in autumn. Foliage gains red tints through the season. Height 75cm. A vigorously clumping cultivar, making splendid patches in not so many years.
