On a visit to Pemberley (Lyme Park) today not much was flowering but this caught my eye. Anyone know what it is?

These were quite compact plants, 15 to 20" but probably are a variety of Aster. The right time of year and flower. The ones we have are a lot taller and do spread quickly.

I hadn't realised how many different Asters there are. Just a few at Farmyard Nurseries. https://www.farmyardnurseries.co.uk/shop...uery=aster

Could be Little Ness on the first page of that link.

I've bookmarked that link as I might be tempted to buy some of the shorter growing Asters.

Farmyard Nurseries is/was a lovely place to visit if ever you're down in West Wales. They used to have a plant stall in Carmarthen Market which was always very tempting!!
