Aster Novae-Angliae `Grape Crush`
Growing to a height of about 2 to 3 feet, 'Grape Crush' Aster showcases an abundance of daisy-like flowers with deep purple petals and contrasting yellow centers. These flowers bloom in late summer and fall, adding a splash of rich color to gardens and landscapes when many other plants are waning. The blooms attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, enhancing the vitality of the garden. 'Grape Crush' thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it suitable for borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas. Its vibrant flowers, late-season interest, and pollinator-friendly nature make it a popular choice for adding color and life to outdoor spaces as the gardening season comes to a close.
