$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Symphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Purple Dome’ forms dense clumps of sturdy stems clothed in narrow, slightly rough green leaves that create a compact mound through the growing season. In late summer through fall, the plant becomes covered with numerous daisy like flowers in rich violet purple, each bloom centered with a golden yellow disk that gradually deepens with age.

The species originates from eastern and central North America, where it grows in meadows and open landscapes. In garden settings, ‘Purple Dome’ is valued for borders, pollinator gardens, and naturalistic plantings, where its abundant fall flowers provide color and support for late season bees and butterflies.
