Aster ‘Krallen’ is a distinctive and eye-catching variety, known for its spiky, quilled petals that resemble claw-like forms — the name Krallen translates to “claws” in German. These large, fully double blooms appear in vibrant shades of pink, purple, red, white, and blue, offering bold texture and colour in late summer and autumn borders. Ideal for cutting, this tall and upright variety is long-lasting in the vase and makes a dramatic focal point in beds and bouquets.
