{"product_id":"aster-jenny","title":"Aster Jenny","description":"\u003cp\u003eAster 'Jenny' is a compact herbaceous perennial grown for its bright late-season flowers and tidy rounded shape. It forms a low mound of green leaves and covers itself with semi-double pink to purplish red blooms from late summer into fall. This makes it a good choice for the front of a border, small garden beds, and patio pots. The rich flower color stands out well against other fall perennials and ornamental grasses. It is also valued for attracting bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cultivar grows best in a sunny open spot with soil that drains well but does not stay dry for long periods. Good air flow around the leaves helps keep the plant healthier through the season. Powdery mildew can be a problem, especially when plants are crowded or stressed, so spacing is important. Aphids, leafhoppers, and slugs may also appear from time to time. Dividing older clumps in spring helps keep the plant healthy and flowering well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePruning is simple and does not take much work. Stems can be cut back after flowering, or left in place over winter for extra structure before trimming in early spring. A light trim in late spring can encourage a denser and more compact plant. New plants are usually made by division or by taking basal cuttings in spring. With its manageable size, long bloom season, and value for pollinators, 'Jenny' is an easy choice for many garden styles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798430150707,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/c4bf1b4a19c1_1050.jpg?v=1788110034","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/aster-jenny","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
