Aster 'Wood's Purple'
Aster
Aster 'Wood's Purple' has perfectly clean foliage, and is loaded with single, clear purple flowers in late summer and early fall. It is slightly earlier than 'Wood's Blue'. Bred for compact habit, long bloom period and heavy flowering, all of the Woods Asters are outstanding pot crops and should be used far more often as a sturdy perennial alternative for mums.

Interesting Notes
To the best of our ability, we've tracked this group of remarkable selections to Ed Wood of Portland, Oregon. He apparently was a passionate apple breeder, but worked on these on the side. They were introduced after his death by Lynn Caton.
