A lovely fall bloomer, these dark purple blooms attract many late season pollinators! The large, mounding habit stays tidy and benefits from a pinching in late July to create more branching and blooms in autumn. This Aster is a nativar. Remove spent growth in early spring. Divide every few years as needed in spring. Asters are a popular alternative to fall mums in containers.
