If this doesn't convince you to plant it in your garden, I don't know what else I can do!

PS I've written about it many times, in fact as recently as last month, check out ~Willowleaf aster, a must for your garden!

You've convinced me and I've added it to my spring shopping list. Gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the late asters! I think they are my favorite of all the wildflowers for color, beauty, and ability to attract pollinators!
ReplyDeleteLove that it is still holding on.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely and wonderful to still be blooming in January!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Wow, that's exciting, Gail! Lovely photo, too.
ReplyDeleteI love watching those last survivors. Due to your recommendation, I have put this one on my list of plants for 2015. I had a golden alexander that continued to bloom until our most recent cold snap. Pretty sure it is benefiting from the microclimate where it is planted but still exciting. I think this week will put an end to any remaining blooms in my garden.
ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate to have just that spot of color. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have anything holding out with this awful wind and cold.
ReplyDeleteAlways ready to try a new aster, though I doubt it would still be holding out up here!
ReplyDeleteOh to see an aster now would be so sweet...one of my favs.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! You've got to love anything this hardy!
ReplyDeleteLove that singing colour! Happy New Year to you and yours from North Wales.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite amazing! I found a couple of pansies still hanging onto flowers well into December, and it certainly made me smile.
