Professor Kippenburg Fall Aster

This dwarf, clump-forming perennial is a selection of New York aster that typically grows in a compact mound. It features semi-double, lavender-blue flowers with yellow centers that bloom profusely from late summer to early fall. The narrow, medium green foliage provides a dense backdrop for the showy blossoms. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is highly attractive to butterflies and bees, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, or containers in sunny spots.
