Lady Coral Lavender is a premium China Aster prized for its rare, silvery lilac-lavender color and fully double, peony-like blooms with a luminous, metallic sheen. A truly special variety! Billowy petals stack and curl slightly inward to form tightly packed flowers measuring two to three inches across on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Blooming a bit later than many asters, it brings a dramatic, late-season glow to bouquets and garden beds.

• Fully double peony-style blooms measuring two to three inches wide
• Long, strong stems excellent for vase arrangements
• Later-blooming aster for extending the season and bouquet harvests
