Aster cordifolius 'Little Carlow' - 2026

Aster cordifolius 'Little Carlow' is a compact and charming perennial cultivar known for its vibrant lilac-blue daisy-like flowers with golden centres, which bloom from late summer into autumn. Its neat, bushy growth habit and dark green foliage make it ideal for smaller borders, rockeries, or mixed perennial beds where space is limited. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, providing essential late-season nectar for pollinators. Hardy and easy to grow, 'Little Carlow' thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade and offers long-lasting colour when many other garden plants are fading. Regular deadheading encourages extended flowering and keeps the plant looking tidy.
