Aster dumosus 'Alpha Light Purple'

Aster dumosus 'Alpha Light Purple'

Aster dumosus 'Alpha Light Purple' is a compact, dwarf perennial producing a heavenly mass of lavender purple, daisy-like flowers above neat mid-green foliage. Its dense, rounded habit creates an impressive display while remaining suitable for smaller garden spaces.

Flowering from late summer into mid-autumn, this long-flowering variety provides valuable colour as many other plants begin to fade. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Easy to grow and fully hardy, 'Alpha Dark Purple Launch' performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Its compact, strong-growing habit makes it ideal for rockeries, alpine gardens, coastal planting, containers and the front of sunny borders, with the foliage dying back naturally in autumn before returning in spring.
