{"product_id":"monch-aster","title":"Aster 'Mönch'","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e'Mönch' has been a benchmark perennial for decades, and its reputation is well earned. This outstanding Frikart's aster produces a long, generous succession of clear lavender-blue daisy flowers with warm yellow centers from midsummer through fall — one of the longest bloom seasons of any perennial in its class. The flowers are carried on strong, well-branched stems above neat, dark green foliage, creating an open, airy presence in the border that combines effortlessly with almost everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat keeps 'Mönch' at the top of gardeners' lists after all these years is its combination of flower quality, bloom duration, and genuine ease of culture. It holds its color well in heat, resists the mildew problems that plague many asters, and requires no staking despite its height — a reliable, low-maintenance perennial that simply performs season after season without complaint. Few plants of any type offer this kind of consistent, long-season value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear lavender-blue flowers with warm yellow centers from midsummer through fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the longest bloom seasons of any summer-fall perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, self-supporting stems — no staking required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent mildew resistance compared to other aster varieties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn important late-season nectar source for monarchs, native bees, and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding cut flower with good vase life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The GreenHouse","offers":[{"title":"#1","offer_id":47073531461860,"sku":"46359A","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/5352\/files\/aster-monch2.jpg?v=1787242860","url":"https:\/\/www.thegreenhousepnw.com\/products\/monch-aster","provider":"The Greenhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
