Aster 'Wood's Purple'
Aster 'Wood's Purple'
Common Name: 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 Wood's Asters are outstanding pot crops and should be used far more often as a sturdy perennial alternative for mums.

Height: 12 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 5-8
