The aster is "Eventides," (although the light makes them kind of rose, they are really a bright violet) and is also easy. However, the pic is of 2 plants, and the blooms are so heavy that they need to be staked to keep them up. Here is a close-up - my favorite part of them is that they will attract dozens of butterflies to them during the fall. There are at least 6 butterflies in the pic, but most have their wings up so are difficult to see -- very COOL!
