Stoneleigh: a natural garden

Yep, an aster that climbs! This is a great choice for any place that you’d like to put a vine but might be worried about the vigor of traditional vining plants. Since Climbing Aster is a perennial, it’s a gentle climber that can be helped along by ties to climb upward. Plant near a downspout, fence, trellis, or allow it to meander around and up among other perennials.
