Description
A low ribbon of semi-double pink daisies brings Symphyotrichum dumosum Woods Pink to the front of a sunny border from late summer into early fall. Its compact, clump-forming growth stays neat without staking and also fits path edges and containers.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Pinch stems before midsummer for dense growth, then cut them back after flowering. The plant is toxic to people and animals, so prevent chewing or consumption.
