add the reference to the bees buzzing off.

Fall is a fabulous time for perennial asters. Many of the newer
varieties are types of Aster Novi-belgii. This variety is 'Thyra
Viking' produced by the Yoder company. Colors range from ultra bright
pinks, to violets to purples.

Asters should be planted in the full sun if you want them to bloom the
following year, or you can treat them as an annual if the buds have
already formed to add bright color anywhere.
