Aster 'Purple Dome'
Aster novae-angliae syn. Symphyotrichum novae-angliae
Autumn showstopper! Rich purple mounds of daisy-like blossoms contrast beautifully with its sunny yellow centers, and attract oodles of pollinators. 'Purple Dome' is a dwarf form of our perennial New England Aster (native to WNC - and many other areas of the eastern US), ideal for tucking in between spring and summer flowering plants, planting in entryway containers, and wherever you need vibrant fall color. They prefer moist, well-draining soils.
