Aster, Grape Crush

Aster novi-angliae ‘Grape Crush’

A late-season stunner that brings bold color and pollinator appeal to the garden when many other plants are winding down. In late summer through mid-fall, it produces dense clusters of deep purple daisy-like blooms with golden centers over a tidy mound of dark green foliage. Its clean, well-behaved habit resists lodging (flopping) even under heavy bloom.
