I ...How cool that you have room for such a beauty! I wish I would have done a better job keeping track of what kind of asters I've planted. I don't think any of mine are this kind, because they aren't so tall. I do have one that reseeds and has flowers similar to those.<br /><br />I did a search to see if false dragonhead is obedient plant, and it is. That stuff is too aggressive for me to plant here. There is some in a flower bed at church that I pull out when I get a chance, because it wants to take over. That's too bad, because it is a pretty flower.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-29215497657648128362011-10-05T18:21:17.998-05:002011-10-05T18:21:17.998-05:00just buzzing in cause I heard there were bees and ...just buzzing in cause I heard there were bees and a very large aster!Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681165124092621276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-39910480146083393962011-10-05T00:09:53.211-05:002011-10-05T00:09:53.211-05:00Im impressed, I must say.
