The Story
Plant Bio
Asters are clump-forming perennials known for their daisy-like flowers with star-shaped heads. They are essential late-season nectar sources for pollinators and typically feature lance-shaped, green leaves. A compact cultivar prized for its profusion of pure white, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers. 'Jungfrau' has a bushy habit and is noted for having better mildew resistance than many other New York Asters.
