Details

Low autumn aster with purple-blue flowers from August to October. Hardy, compact and loved by bees and butterflies.

Species: Aster dumosus 'Prof. Anton Kippenberg' · Pot: ø9 cm · Height: 10-25 cm

Aster dumosus 'Prof. Anton Kippenberg' is a low autumn aster that forms a compact dome full of small, purple-blue flowers with a yellow centre. It flowers from August into October, when many other perennials have already finished. You receive the plants in ø9 cm pots, 10 to 25 cm tall.

Plant it at the front of the border, in a rock garden or in a large pot on the patio. Bees and butterflies love to visit it in autumn. The aster grows best in the sun, in soil that is not too dry, and is a hardy perennial that sprouts again every spring. The flowers are also suitable for cutting.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

When will your plant arrive?

4–5working days after you order

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...
