Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Purple Dome'
Description

A mounded selection that is stunning during the late summer months and into the fall; lovely purple flowers with yellow centers bloom among dark green foliage; beautiful in borders or fresh cut arrangements

Ornamental Features

Purple Dome Aster has masses of beautiful purple daisy flowers with yellow eyes at the ends of the stems from late summer to late fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its narrow leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season.

Planting & Growing

Purple Dome Aster will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!
