Aster 'Grape Crush' (PW)

Aster ‘Grape Crush’ (PW) keeps the garden colorful as summer gives way to fall, covering a dense, rounded mound with rich grape-purple flowers and golden centers. Its sturdy, upright habit brings a full splash of color to sunny borders, while the daisy-like blooms welcome bees and butterflies late in the season. Pair it with ornamental grasses or goldenrod for a lively autumn display.
