The Aster Perla, also known as the Michaelmass Daisy, is a stunning flower that adds beauty to any garden or landscape. This particular variety has several notable features that make it a popular choice for both amateur and professional gardeners alike.
One of the first things to note about the Aster Perla is its single flower type. This means that each stem produces a single flower, giving the plant a simple and elegant appearance. The flowers themselves are white and measure between 1-1.5cm in diameter. The color distribution of the flowers is unicolored, meaning that they are all pure white.
The leaves of the Aster Perla are linear in shape and have an entire leaf margin, which means the edges are smooth and not serrated. The leaves are a dark green color, providing a beautiful contrast to the white flowers. The average size of the leaves is between 3-4cm.
In terms of winter hardness, the Aster Perla is excellent. It can withstand harsh winter conditions in USDA zones 1, 2, 3, and 4. This makes it a great option for gardeners in colder regions who still want to enjoy beautiful flowers in their gardens all year round.
When it comes to light conditions, the Aster Perla thrives in sunny areas. It requires full sun to grow and bloom to its full potential. Additionally, the plant prefers moist, well-drained soil. This means that it requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
The Aster Perla produces flowers in inflorescences known as racemes and capitula (heads). This means that the flowers are clustered together in groups, creating a beautiful display of blooms. The racemes and capitula add volume and depth to the overall look of the plant, making it even more visually appealing.
Overall, the Aster Perla is a hardy and beautiful flower that is well-suited for various garden settings. Its white flowers and dark green leaves create an eye-catching contrast, and its ability to thrive in cold weather makes it a reliable choice for gardeners in colder regions. Whether planted in borders, containers, or as part of a larger landscape, the Aster Perla is sure to add beauty and elegance to any space.
