Aster x 'Wood's Purple'

Common Name:
New York Aster
Bloom color:
Purple w/gold centers
Height:

12"

Bloom:
Aug-Sept
Hardiness:
5-8
Light:
Sun
Soil:
Well-drained, fertile soil.

Why you need this plant:        Densely packed clusters of purple flowers provide outstanding color in the garden from late summer into fall. They make a terrific accent to fall blooming grasses and the changing colors of the trees. '

 
Planting Info:       Most hardy Asters thrive in well-enriched fertile but rather dry soils.  Water deeply during dry spells, but avoid wetting the foliage.  This species performs best in rich, evenly moist soil and full sun. Give them lots of room to grow; good air circulation will help to prevent powdery mildew. To maintain their health and vigor, divide plants every couple of years in the spring.
