Question raised on the mums thread:
Frillylily said:I'd like to know if there are any asters that are really a true blue color that do not get more than 18-24 " tall? Do asters reseed like crazy? Do they come back every year or just reseed?
I grew Peter III and really liked it. It was truly blue, had fairly large double flowers, and was a nice, short globe-shaped mound.

Sadly, asters aren't very long-lived in my garden, so this one is just a memory now.
I think the hybrid bedding asters are usually sterile and don't set seed.
