Aster Purple Dome is a compact aster known for its vibrant display of color. It features dense clusters of small, daisy-like blooms with rich purple petals surrounding bright yellow centers. The flowers create a striking contrast against the plant's dark green foliage, which forms a neat, bushy mound. Typically reaching a height of about 18 inches, it is ideal for borders, rock gardens, or as a standout feature in mixed beds. Blooming profusely in late summer to early fall, it attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
