Description

When summer says goodbye, ‘Grape Crush’ New England Aster steals the spotlight with deep violet blooms that shimmer in autumn light. Its early fall flowering brings a much-needed splash of color to fading borders—and crucial sustenance to migrating butterflies and late-season bees.

This perennial nativar forms a robust, bushy mound 26–30 inches tall, with richly pigmented flowers set against dark green foliage. It’s perfect for naturalistic plantings, rain gardens, or adding vibrant contrast to classic autumn tones.

Low-maintenance and salt-tolerant, ‘Grape Crush’ delivers both visual drama and ecological value. Plant it where its late show can shine—and where pollinators can toast the season’s grand finale.
