Loved by butterflies, gardening enthusiasts, and florists, this remarkable flower Monte Cassino spotlights delicate clear white clouds of dainty daisies with a yellow center that hovers over neatly trimmed small green leaves that form a sturdy, bushy clump.
Symphyotrichum pilosum variety Pringlei ‘Monte Cassino’ is an aster flower variation that is a well-known choice among professional florists and cut flower enthusiasts due to its volume and the many flowers on each stem.
These flowers are considered a symbol of patience and charm; they are sometimes referred to as daisy doppelgangers and stand out when paired with almost any type of flower.
This North American native is also known as Dense-flowered Aster, Elongated Aster, and Heath Aster’ Monte Casino’.
Symphyotrichum comprises about 90 species[1] of the annual, biennial, and perennial plants previously attributed to the Aster genus.
The leaves are simple, lanceolate, and whole, but their daisy-shaped buds are cultivated; the florets on the central disc are generally yellow, surrounded by thong-shaped ligulate florets in white, purple, blue, or pink shades.
