Aster (Michaelmas Daisy) 'Benary's Composition'

I bought this one early spring, hoping to find something taller than my sedums and shorter than my clematis. Oh how I do like it. Sure wish I had bought seeds though and gotten it for much cheaper that way.

I still have a few purple blooms on my 'polish spriit' clematis. I really like the different shades of pink and white and different textures in this little section of garden.

The Michaelmas daisy is in the lower left hand corner, under the clematis. It should get to 3ft tall, 2 1/2 feet wide.
