Grape Crush Fall Aster
Symphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Grape Crush’
Add a bold splash of late-season colour to your garden with Grape Crush Fall Aster. This compact, floriferous variety bursts into bloom in early to mid-fall, producing a profusion of rich grape-purple daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers—just when most other perennials are fading.
Perfect for extending the bloom season, Grape Crush forms a neat, upright mound—growing 24–30 inches tall and wide—making it ideal for borders, mixed beds, and pollinator-friendly plantings. It’s a magnet for bees, butterflies, and late-season pollinators, offering vital nectar when it’s needed most.
Cold-hardy and reliable in Canadian gardens (Zones 3–8), this New England aster thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s also deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and mildew-resistant—offering healthy foliage and vibrant blooms with minimal fuss.
Brighten up your autumn landscape with Grape Crush Fall Aster—a vibrant, pollinator-friendly perennial that thrives in Canada’s cooler climates and brings lasting beauty to the fall garden.
