... As an ace as classifiers. Once they were called
star herb and when "star" was translated into Greek, called the Aster.
Come on, I will show you my asters in the fall garden. We have to pass under the lilacs.
If you ask me, what are they for which, I think. Is it the "high" or "lowly". The "Smooth" or "teasing"? The "vulnerability" or "sleeping"?
Let's start with the "little ones" in the pillow frames. Aster dumosus
hybrids, says, the gardener. And if we are to believe the experts, today's garden variety has nothing to do with the wild type. Much "neubelgisches" blood will flow in it. And that would be a good thing ... Add at least the experts. The roots go, and so within a short time a real "parade cushion" created.
Aster dumosus hybrid 'Cassel'
Aster dumosus hybrid 'Prof.A.Kippenberg' - the very front
Like this beauty is that? The sign is gone - I forgot it.
As seen from the fact neubelgischen asters?
At first glance, not much different - just a little higher. The Sun at 1.20. To add to the confusion: there are also lower, as the above, the Aster novi-belgii 'snow dome'.
Aster novi-belgii (short: Aster nb ) is also called plain leaf aster. About Karl Foerster she writes anything nice:
Posted by K. Foerster: angry
Countless varieties of blight or stem rot, wandering proliferation, falling over, Kräuseligwerden the flowers ...
unquote
Ah, the smooth leaf switches are thus the mildew-prone and since their rhizomes are creeping, they can proliferate around pretty ...
But not my 'snow dome'! Does not she look great.
Next to the 'snow dome' growing a variety known Alma Pötschke with their distinctive salmon (or substitute salmon better-red).
The kind of 'Alma Pötschke' comes from New England in North America. Therefore they were called: Aster novae-angliae. In German they are called rough leaf frames. They are generally higher and do not proliferate as much as their 'Belgian' Sisters.
gets the Aster na (I soon n ngliae ovi- a at times) and powdery mildew?
Na, I say to rhoihessisch and means "no."
Actually, it is but just before it begins to bloom even under bare around.
"That is its nature fall! !..." No symptom the experts say.
therefore also like to plant varieties lower in front, such as A. dumosus Aster or-na 'Purple Dome'. na's' Purple Dome is the exception among the '' it is only about 60 cm high, flowers so thick and bushy that one hardly sees her Verkahlung.
Aster-na have a special feature. Their blooms like to go to bed early:
If the weather is bad or the sun goes down, they close their flower heads.
Aster novi-angliae 'Rosa Sieger'
grow in my garden but also other aster species, such as the Aster laevis in German the 'Smooth Aster'
is originally found in dry open forests - and thus they are used quite differently from the above that grow like the sunny, humid places and want to be like in summer irrigated times. Aster laevis
'Calliope' ...
... a selection with dark stems and leaves
The Aster amellus (here 'Veilchenköniging') loves it rather dry.
In Sempervivengarten is my current Königigin
the low-lying Aster ericocides (pansus) 'Snowflurry', also a drought-loving. With millions of felt flowers.
She raises her flowers on to the end of the gardening year slowly coming to an end.
But whether spring, summer or autumn asters, whether high or low, or falling rampant, mildew-prone or glabrous, smooth or rough ...
they do not care:
you only want one thing: the sweet nectar of garden
aces.
