@violetenergy @emch I don't know anything about masters but if it propagates from seed or stem I'd be happy to collects it and send it to you. Let me know.

Introducing Winston Churchill. Planted last year in the #petitelakefirepitgarden he is over 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide; so unexpectedly large he had to be propped up with a corner fence. He is bursting with buds for a great showing any day now. #aster #zone5b #zone5

I can't decide whether this is pink or purple.

@emch I agree. It started off pink and turned purple. Great show this year.

I wonder what Churchill would say about having a pink daisy -- no matter how robust -- named after him! No, much better a rich, royal purple LOL
