Purple Crush Aster brings densely packed rich purple flowers over a perfect round mound of foliage that stays neat all season. Grape Crush Aster boasts being an excellent cut flower. In late summer and fall every square inch of the foliage is covered in blossoms. Grows 2′ tall and 3’ wide. Butterflies delight in its sweet nectar. No pinching is needed. Perennial.

Asters perform best in full sun and grow fine in average soil, but for best results add a shovelful or two of compost and a bit of slow-release fertilizer when planting. Although drought tolerant, for best blooming keep well watered, especially when plants are setting up buds and blooming, and during dry spells.
