Hazy Dark Pink Fall Aster

Hazy™ Dark Pink is a named color selection in Syngenta’s Hazy™ series of New York asters. For product 70018151, Syngenta lists a 16–18 inch height and 20–24 inch spread, while Ball Seed gives a 14–16 inch height; the shorter height ranges are more consistent with this compact cultivar than older broad labels ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70018151), [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=007500001027713&env=P)). ## Form and Placement Use this medium-vigor selection in sunny borders, containers, edging, or mass plantings. Lucas Greenhouses describes its flowers as dark pink with yellow centers and a mounding habit, and notes that it attracts bees and butterflies ([Lucas Greenhouses](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Aster-Novi-Belgii-Hazy-Dark-Pink)). For spacing, allow about 20–24 inches of spread. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun. General New York aster guidance recommends moist, well-drained soil and good airflow around plants ([University of Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/new-york-aster-michaelmus-daisy)). The sources differ on winter hardiness: Lucas lists zones 3–8 and Ball Seed 5a–8b, while Syngenta gives no zone. Check local growing conditions before treating either range as a guarantee. ## Maintenance Water consistently during active growth and flowering, allowing excess to drain. Remove spent stems after the autumn display and clear damaged foliage. Divide established clumps when crowded to maintain vigor and limit spread.
