Other species are also used: Frikat's aster (Aster frikartii) blooming in July, splayed aster (Aster divaricatus), which can quickly grow in a flower bed, smooth aster (Aster laevis) - tall bushes with drooping shoots and pale purple inflorescences.

For the middle band, it is better to select early-flowering varieties, since late ones often do not have time to bloom.
Varieties are common - Erlkenig (height about 1 m, flowers are light purple), Ringdav (bush height about 90 cm, pale lilac inflorescences).

Andenken en Paul Gerbri about 1 m high, with dark pink inflorescences; Bars Pink - height about 1.4 m, baskets of semi-double flowers are light pink; Rubinschacht (variety of the famous German breeder Foster) - height 1.2 m, inflorescences are dark purple-red.

There are varieties that differ in bush height from 40 to 200 cm, size and color of inflorescences.

Therefore, they are considered a sign of the beginning of the new school year and autumn. In fact, these flowers are called callistephus. To figure out which plants are real asters, let's turn to history.

They are sometimes called the Chinese aster - and this is not entirely true. With multi-colored bouquets of these flowers, schoolchildren go to school on the first of September.
