Symphyotrichum novae angliae Purple Dome Fall Flowering Plants The foliage can burn in(syn: Aster novae angliae) If you have never seen a mass of Aster 'Purple Dome' in full flower, then you haven't yet lived horticulturally speaking! From Dr. Dick Lighty, former Director of the Mt. Cuba Center, Delaware, comes this wonderful selection of our drought tolerant native New England aster. The 18" stems of fuzzy, narrow, green leaves are topped in early fall with vivid, 1. 5" wide, shocking purple daisies so thick you can't see the foliage.
