Utterly reliable, totally floriferous, and as much a sign of autumn as the sad song of the geese overhead.
The only problem with our tall Michaelmas Daisies is that they're so top heavy that they tend to flop forward.

Your michaelmas daisies look very nice and are the traditional colour. I recommend you try the dwarfer Aster amellus and the strong standing Aster novi anglae and avoid both flopping AND staking

I'm all for tradition, Roger, but you're right, shorter cultivars would make life easier. Thank you for your suggestions - I'll certainly follow them up.

Beautiful photo of your Michaelmas Daisies, I don’t have any in my garden, the sunny spot is filled with roses and the rest of the garden is too shady so I have to enjoy them in other gardens instead.

Thank you, Helene. Don't think it's a patch on your photos, though. Roger's recommended a shorter daisy - might squeeze into a pot in a sunny spot?
