Gabriela,
Aster ericoides´Snowflurry´also flowers in Germany and we always enjoy these
charming flowers in the autumn.

Nice to see that this charming cultivar is grown in Europe Rudi! Not easy to find it here.
It can happen in some years to still be flowering when the first 'real' snow flurries arrive :)

Snow Flurries is one of my favorites. It's been around since at least year 2000, whien I bought it mail order.  Other things of interest in the pic from a previous year, mid October: Penstemon cobaea on left, Pontechium maculatum (Echium russicum) on back right.

Also from mid September:
Symphyotrichum sericeum, Rudbeckia 'Henry Eilers', Chasmanthium latifolium, Pontechium maculatum

Symphyotrichum sericeum is very nice Rick; we don't have it here (as far as I know). And it looks great with Chasmanthium, one of my favourites among grasses.
I noticed has almost disappeared at garden centres, too many Calamagrostis, Miscanthus and an 'invasion' of Panicum cv. (which I like).
