Thats a very good point Kent. I have some 'Dream of Beauty' that, until some of the plants bloomed this year I hadn't realized they were seedling and they don't come true to color or height. I assume it just revered to the spieces Symphyotrichum oblongifolium. Still a very nice arraignment. The floppy asters I get rid of. Bills big blue is the next one in line to be removed. I have it tied to itself this season and so far its still standing but one good rain or wind and it'll be over. You had mentioned the Symphyotrichum novae-angliae not being long lived. How long is that? We have some nice tidy clumps here that I really prefer and want to keep. I know there at least four years old. OOOPS sorry Deb. Looks like I tromp all over your thread, I appologies.
