I love Asters but have been personally dissapointed in the hybrids I've bought. The first year they are magnificent but they slowly fade away and by the third year what's left is yanked out of the ground. Just goes to show you that I can't have a green thumb with everyting. But I keep buying them since I want fall color.

My best Asters are the wild ones that grow off in the rough area along with the Goldenrod and wild Phlox.
