Aster 'Celeste' is a new Yoder selection with dark green, disease resistant foliage and a compact habit that is perfect for the front of the perennial border or mixed containers.
In late summer through fall, the plants are completely covered with eye catching lavender blue single flowers with an attractive yellow eye on mounded plants.
'Celeste' looks stunning when planted with fall blooming ornamental grasses!
