The flowers open from darker pink buds, giving the plant a pleasing two-tone effect as the display develops. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKarl Foerster selection dating from 1971\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, ‘Rosa Sieger’ has been quietly doing the business for more than half a century.

Give it sun and a reasonably fertile, moisture-retentive soil and it will produce a generous autumn display without demanding much fuss. The stems can become a little enthusiastic, so a little neighbouring vegetation is no bad thing. Bees and other insects will be grateful for the late-season feast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eH7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – below –20°C\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 120–140 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSpread:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 60–90 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e September–October\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Edulis","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":58165298889086,"sku":null,"price":8.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/6067\/files\/478FFF00-F3CF-4EEE-A5E1-78CD8BC6AA73.tif?v=1791308520","url":"https:\/\/www.edulis.co.uk\/products\/symphyotrichum-aster-novae-angliae-rosa-sieger","provider":"Edulis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
