Aster novae-angliae 'Purple Dome' - 2026

Aster novae-angliae 'Purple Dome' is a compact and vibrant perennial cultivar known for its rich violet-purple, daisy-like flowers with golden yellow centres that bloom from late summer into autumn. Its low, clump-forming habit and lush green foliage make it ideal for borders, rockeries, and mixed perennial beds, providing structure and contrast to the striking flowers. The nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies, supporting pollinators while adding extended seasonal interest. Hardy and easy to grow, 'Purple Dome' thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering and helps maintain a neat, healthy appearance, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting late-season colour.
