Aster novae-angliae Purple Dome 1Q

(New England Aster)

Dwarf New England aster forming a compact, dome-shaped mound smothered in rich purple flowers in early to mid-autumn. Provides strong color without the height or floppiness of taller selections and is highly attractive to pollinators. Best in full sun and moist to average garden soils and works well at the front of borders or in smaller spaces.
