The star anemone is a plant native to South Africa, distinguished by its bright, sun-opening flowers. It is well adapted to heat and drought.
In manor gardens, asters were used in sunny decorative beds and rock gardens.
They are valued in rural homesteads for their bright colors and unpretentiousness.
In urban green spaces, they were often planted in sunny areas where other plants had a harder time enduring the heat.
Today, the magnificent starflower is widely used in summer flower beds and balcony plantings.
