My beautiful flowers

I ordered and received two healthy and budded Stokes Asters. They are gorgeous, healthy & vigorous. This is my first time ordering from Romence Gardens. I am so pleased with my purchase. They arrived very well packaged and much larger than what I was expecting I will definitely be ordering from y'all again!

Great plant

This is a beautiful aster. I planted it last spring and it produced a huge number of blooms. A beautiful companion plant to my apricot-colored roses. Unfortunately the deer ate a lot of the flowers, but not the plant itself. Spraying the blooms with hot pepper spray deterred the deer somewhat, but I was disappointed they ate so many of the flowers because asters are supposed to be deer-resistant.
