Dragon™ Blue Aster

Dragon™ Blue is a blue color variety in Syngenta’s Dragon™ series of New York asters. The breeder identifies product 70021404 as Aster novi-belgii and lists a 16–18 inch height by 20–24 inch spread, full-sun exposure, and fall garden flowering ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70021404)). ## Form and Placement Use this medium-vigor selection in a sunny border, hanging basket, or seasonal container for late color. Syngenta also describes it as a very early-season production daisy; that production timing is distinct from its listed fall garden flowering season. Its compact dimensions fit grouped plantings and smaller spaces. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun. General New York aster guidance recommends moist, well-drained soil and good air movement around foliage; cultivar-specific size and exposure should follow the breeder’s product profile ([University of Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/new-york-aster-michaelmus-daisy)). ## Maintenance Water container plants regularly during active growth and flowering, allowing excess to drain. Remove spent flower stems after the fall display. In perennial landscape plantings, divide established clumps every few years when crowded, and leave enough room for the mature spread.
