Description
Aster novi-belgii (Compact purple pink), commonly known as New York aster, is a compact, bushy perennial valued for its profusion of purple-pink daisy-like flowers. Blooming from late summer into autumn, it provides excellent colour when many other plants are finishing their season.
This compact variety is well suited to smaller gardens, borders, and container planting. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with regular watering. Aster novi-belgii is also a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, it benefits from occasional deadheading and cutting back after flowering to encourage healthy growth the following season.
