I bought two of these yesterday and although i've searched i can't find anything lengthy or substantial about them, the searches threw up sites that didn't give much of either.
Does/has anyone grown them ..... i'd like to know more about them from peole who've experienced them.

found a slovenian site that sells them, they are shown as 'Aramis white' or Aramis rose' so I suspect it is a varietal name or a hybrid.
late flowering, full sun 35-45 cm tall.
cant find out any more at the moent.
hope you are well.

Hadn't heard of these either. Not listed on the RHS Plantfinder so no idea. Must be a variety name, probably Dutch (despite the French connotation). They seem to name plants to suit themselves and to increase sales "Oh I don't have that variety" when you may already have it in your garden under its official name.

It isn't possible they got the name of Aster amellus wrong did they?

Well the printed label had the word aramis and then the variaton 'blue' or 'white'.

I emailed a site in solvenia and they say their full label says its an Aster dumosa but they dont think it is a pure for and only use the varietal name as they think it is a complex hybrid.
treat it and grow it as A.dumosa and it wil thrive.
hope this helps Louise.
