Of all the autumn flowering plants these reign supreme. Large clumps are smothered with yellow eyed, royal blue flowers, when all around other plants are becoming less colourful. A drift of Michaelmas daisies is a stunning sight. Prefers a rich sunny position and are typical of the cottage garden. Excellent wildlife plant, loved by bees and butterflies. Height 1m (3')
