My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Name That Plant!Garden

Name this Aster please?

7 years ago

Hi folks,


This Aster stood out as being something slightly different than the usual overly invasive Calico Aster that grows in our garden each season. This lone plant grew to roughly 1 ft tall (in it's first season). The petals seemed to be slightly longer than the 'Calico' and the flower centers appeared different and lacking the pink/purple colour. Any help at all in identifying this to species is much appreciated. Thankyou.








Thankyou in advance,

Walter Fisher
