The early fall flowers of the Late Purple Aster are loosely clustered and large - 1 1/2 inch or so and a bright violet blue with yellow centers on semi-woody stems 1 to 3 feet tall. This prolific Aster withstands drought and takes full sun or partial shade. The aspect of this Aster is rather delicate. That of the Aromatic Aster is shrubbier and denser, while New England Aster is intermediate. Try Late Purple Aster and Aromatic Aster with Goldenrods, grasses, and Gray Conradina. Cat# 1030
