New England Aster 'Purple Dome' is a compact fall-blooming perennial with masses of deep purple flowers. Introduced by Mt. Cuba Center, it's StoneHouse Nursery's top-selling aster.
Its tidy habit looks great in containers and at the front of the border. Pinch the plants back in early summer for an even more compact shape.
It's an important late-season food source for pollinators, and deer typically leave it alone.
