Notes
'Professor Anton Kippenberg' tartarian aster (Aster 'Professor Anton Kippenberg') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Monch tartarian aster, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Late boneset.
