Blooms are similiar to asters but have a leafy bract around the bud. Useful in borders or containers, it requires light moist well drained soil.
Starting in July ‘Colour Wheel’ sends up branched bloom stalks which open almost pure white. As the day progress, the same bloom fades to lavender, then to deeper lavender and finally to purple. During the lavender and purple stages, new white blooms open on the same bloom stalk. The overall effect is as many as five different colours on the same plant.
