Part of the compact Island Series, the Bahama aster is a dwarf Michaelmas daisy bred for a floriferous, well-branched habit that smothers itself in vibrant pink, yellow-centred blooms as summer turns to fall. Its tidy size suits containers, small borders, and the front of sunny beds where it extends the season of colour after many other perennials have finished. Regular deadheading keeps the display going longer and prevents self-seeding.
