ASTER N.A. `PURPLE DOME` Purple Dome' is a 'must have' plant for the late summer and fall garden. It is simply one of the best blooming fall Asters and it's one of the densest with its naturally dwarf form keeping it from sprawling out of control and looking messy like many other Asters can. 'Purple Dome' is the picture of neatness with tight branching swathed in small, deep green, strap-like foliage. Once early September hits, this neat form is coated with an exquisite veneer of 2" diameter, deep purple, yellow centered daisies that will demand your attention. The show continues well into October making it one of those fall bloomers that will leave you with a warm feeling for your garden right on through the cold winter.

I'll start by saying I seldom write Amazon reviews. I needed this specific nativar of a New England aster for a specific reason. I bought a plant from another source but it didn't make it through shipment. I was hesitant to try again given the summer heat wave but I needed the plant. It shipped extremely quickly and arrive almost a week early. The packaging was exquisite and the plant was in perfect shape. Obviously a little wilted due to the summer heat but after placing it in cool water for an hour it completely perked back up. Plant is huge - like barely fitting in the pot huge. Every leaf looks healthy and green and if it wasn't in the middle of a summer heat wave I could have put it in the ground today. I'm going to keep it above ground in the shade for a couple days until the weather cools and we get some rain. I am totally in awe of the condition this plant arrived in.

I purchased two of these aster plants and not only were they beautiful, full, healthy and amazing; but the packaging is an awesome feat of engineering. They arrived in perfect condition, and we know they will be an excellent addition to our yard. Highly recommend!!

I ordered two of the Purple Dome variety to plant in my front landscaping that was somewhat bare. The plants arrived promptly via UPS. I was surprised to see that not only were healthy considering the heat, but they are much larger than I anticipated. Both plants acclimated right away - I recommend using a little mycorrhizae especially when transplanting - and they are already growing at a nice, steady pace. This is a quality nursery, and I am completely satisfied with this gorgeous addition to my garden.Edit (9/17/24): I added a photo of one of the asters I purchased and planted three months ago. Both are thriving and insanely beautiful; the bumblebees and butterflies love them!

The plant is gorgeous! I was afraid it wouldn't make it since it took a while to ship and it is over 90 degrees here but it made it! A little wilted but not crushed and nothing a little water couldn't fix. I just planted it so I hope it does well.

This beautiful Aster arrived lush & healthy! It was surprisingly large-16 in tall and packed carefully in a protective container. I was pleased with the plant and will continue to use this company in the future!

I loved how well they sent this. I was able to take it out of the box perfectly intact and ready to plant. Which I did and I already have a flower. Very happy

Wow! I am blown away by how vibrant and healthy these Asters are! And BIG! These are not teeny plants, but full sized, healthy plants! I won’t be surprised if they bloom again, this fall! I will definitely buy from this company, again! Pleasantly thrilled!
