An explosion of color, Aster Purple Dome is blanketed in deep purple mounds of daisy-like flowers with cheery yellow centers. New England Asters form robust semi-woody clumps that bloom from late summer into fall. Each arching branch is covered with blossoms creating a stunning display against the dark green foliage. Very durable and long lasting. Pairs nicely with ornamental grasses.

General Information:
Asters, novae-angliae, are tolerant of wet conditions. We are happy to be able to offer several of these fine New England Asters. They flower from late summer into fall and do they flower! Native to Eastern and Central United States. Mildew resistant.
Plant Care:
Pinch back and divide like mums for best display. General rule of thumb is to pinch until 4th of July and not after. Pinching yields better branching and more flowers. Can be divided every 2-3 years in spring. Avoid wet overwintering conditions.
