Famed for its resistance to disease, 'Wood's Purple' is a compact aster with bluish-purple flowers that sport cheerful yellow centers. Deep green foliage stays healthy and lush throughout the season on this hardy and long-lasting plant. Daisy-shaped blooms provide important late-season food for many pollinators, including migrating monarch butterflies. (Aster novi-belgii)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
12-18" tall x 12-18" wide. Aster 'Wood's Purple' is a tried and true disease-resistant perennial that brings charm to formal beds and wild gardens alike. With its burst of star-shaped blooms in contrasting purple and gold, this compact variety is meant to carry a full mounded shape but small overall size, making it a great addition to borders, walkways and patio containers. Bred for resistance to rusts, mildews, and other diseases brought on by humidity, 'Wood's Purple' prefers full sun and average to moist soils. Clean and healthy foliage means that this plant will hold its good looks deep into fall. An indispensable plant for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators who rely on its nectar as other food sources dwindle in the late-season landscape.
