Purple Dome New England Aster

'Purple Dome' Aster is a world-famous New England Aster that every wildflower gardener wants (Novae-Angliae means New England in Latin)! This native is the perfect late-season color maker in meadows or perennial borders. It covers itself in flowers for weeks, when almost everything else in the meadow is

finished blooming. These magnificent plants make up the last hurrah before the garden or meadowscape tucks itself to bed for the winter.

'Purple Dome' was featured as an honorable mention in a Mt Cuba Center Trial Garden Research Report. These reports evaluate native plants and related cultivars for horticultural and ecological value, highlighting the ecosystem services they provide.
