{"product_id":"smooth-aster","title":"Smooth Aster","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmooth Aster is a hardy perennial, the last great burst of colour before frost. Smooth Aster flowers in late summer to fall in shades of purple, and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This perennial matures to roughly 1-4 feet tall and 1.5-3 feet wide. It is ideal for mixed beds, butterfly gardens, and filling space between shrubs, offering dependable colour that returns every year. Well suited to the Canadian climate in zones 3-8, it establishes readily and improves with age. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-4 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5-3 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple, late summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — about 2.5 cm of water per week in the growing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zone 3-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring; deadhead spent blooms through the season to encourage rebloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Landscape Supply","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart \/ 1 Plant","offer_id":49140192018651,"sku":"LS-NVK-1748-1LTR","price":14.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#1 Cont. \/ 1 Plant","offer_id":49140192051419,"sku":"LS-NVK-1748-1G","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/9453\/0011\/files\/ComingSoon_3.png?v=1787056608","url":"https:\/\/theyardsupply.ca\/products\/smooth-aster","provider":"The Yard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
