$26.99

Henry™ I Pink Aster (Aster novi-belgii 'Henry I Pink') is an autumn favorite, delivering a spectacular show of fully double pink flowers from late summer through fall. Each bloom reaches about 1.5 inches across, forming dense clusters atop mounded green foliage. Standing at 15 to 18 inches tall with a spread of up to 18 inches, this compact aster fills borders, containers, and mass plantings with soft, cheerful color. Its early flowering period makes it a standout for extending the garden's seasonal appeal.

This aster’s tidy growth habit and profusion of flowers make it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens, attracting butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Resistant to deer and rabbits, Henry I Pink is a reliable, low-maintenance plant that thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil. Its rich pink blooms pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, coneflowers, and sedum, creating striking autumn displays. Originally bred for its abundant flowering and neat form, it adds charm to small garden spaces and patios.

Henry I Pink Aster Care

Henry I Pink Aster performs best in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct light daily, though it can tolerate light shade in warmer regions. Plant it in moderately fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring will support healthy growth and abundant blooms. Mulching can help retain moisture and control weeds around the base.

Pinch back the stems in early summer to promote a fuller, bushier shape and increase flower production. After the first frost, cut the plant back to the ground to prepare it for winter dormancy. For containers, ensure proper drainage and use a quality potting mix to prevent soggy roots. In colder climates, move potted asters to a sheltered location for added winter protection.

Henry I Pink Aster Spacing

Space plants 18 inches apart for optimal airflow and to allow their mounded form to spread without overcrowding. In mass plantings or borders, closer spacing of 12 inches will create a lush, cohesive display. When planting in containers, use a pot at least 12 inches in diameter to support a healthy root system.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
