Aster Purple Dome

This stunning Aster boasts the rich, purple color of the famous native but is a shorter variety, making it perfect for containers or a border garden. Purple Dome will burst with color in the late summer, providing a spectacular show when much of the garden has finished for the season. (Aster novae-angliae)

Description
The world-famous New England Aster is the one every wildflower gardener wants. (Novae-Angliae means New England in Latin.) The native grows to about 3 ft. with large, blue/purple bloom, and is the perfect late-season color maker in meadows. Even the native version covers itself in flowers for weeks, when almost everything else in the meadow is finished blooming. These magnificent plants make up the last hurrah for any good wildflower meadow.

This hybrid is even more useful than the somewhat rangy native version. With full, bushy plants, larger flowers, and a height of only up to 20 inches tall. A great plant!

      Comments about American Meadows Aster Purple Dome:

      I've currently got this Aster in a pot and I don't have any flowers yet. Being an Aster I don't expect them until Fall anyway. It arrived looking great and appears to be growing nicely.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
