Aster dumosus – Wood’s Purple
A vibrant, dwarf New York aster, ‘Wood’s Purple’ blankets garden edges with masses of semi-double violet-purple daisies crowned by sunny yellow centers from late summer into fall. Compact and tidy, it forms glossy, dark green mounds about 12–18 in tall and spreads 18–24 in wide—ideal for borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly plantings. Renowned for its excellent disease resistance, it thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to average, moist, or even light clay soils. Low‑maintenance and deer‑resistant, it becomes a bustling autumn nectar station for bees, butterflies, and songbirds.
