Growing tall and upright, it adds striking vertical color to borders, meadows, and pollinator-friendly landscapes when much of the garden has finished flowering. September Ruby is a well-regarded cultivar prized for its rich color and robust garden performance, making it a rewarding choice for both new and experienced growers. \u003cbr\u003e\n This aster is primarily grown as an ornamental for mixed borders, wildflower plantings, and cut flower arrangements, where its long-lasting blooms provide late-season interest. The flowers attract a wide range of pollinators, and the plants form clumping, upright habits that naturalize well in suitable conditions. It performs best in full sun with consistent moisture and well-draining soil, and it can be divided every few years to maintain vigor. \u003cbr\u003e\n Species: Aster novae-angliae \u003cbr\u003e\n Variety: September Ruby \u003cbr\u003e\n Type: Herbaceous perennial \u003cbr\u003e\n Plant_Habit: Upright, clumping \u003cbr\u003e\n Sun: Full sun to part shade \u003cbr\u003e\n Soil: Moist, well-draining, fertile \u003cbr\u003e\n Days_to_Harvest: Not applicable \u003cbr\u003e\n Zones: 3-8 \u003cbr\u003e\n Germination: 14-30 days at 65-70F, surface sow and lightly press seed \u003cbr\u003e\n Sowing: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost \u003cbr\u003e\n Spacing: 18-24 inches \u003cbr\u003e\n Notes: Cold stratification for 4-6 weeks can improve germination\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663295905928,"sku":"EXGA-972","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_907aea45-2270-4a4f-8164-d87c0769cddd.png?v=1791896498","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-new-england-aster-september-ruby-perennial-flower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
