Quick Overview:

?Wood?s Purple? is a compact aster form that is similar to A. novae-angliae in appearance, but is noted for having much better disease resistance. It typically grows in a mounded clump to 12-18? tall. Small, semi-double, blue-violet to purple flowers (to 1/2? across) with yellow centers bloom in late summer to early fall. Glossy dark green leaves have excellent disease resistance. This cultivar is part of a Wood aster series that also includes A. ?Wood?s Pink? and A. ?Wood?s Blue?.

Description

Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Does well in sandy or clay soil. Generally tolerates poor soils and some drought. Pinching is not required due to compact size. Plants do not come true from seed, so consideration should be given to cutting back stems after flowering to prevent self-seeding.
