As autumn creeps closer to actual winter there are fewer bright colors throughout the Greenway garden beds. The billowing, breezy masses of Symphotrichon oblongifolium ‘Raydon’s Favorite’ (Aster ‘Raydon’s Favorite’) are a shining hold-out of summer colors. Combined wonderfully with the aging bronzy golden foliage of Amsonia hubrectii (Blue Star), these asters are a welcome addition to the Atlantic Ave beds in the Wharf District parks. Look for them if you are headed to the Aquarium!
