Aster novae‑angliae ‘Grape Crush’ is a compact, upright New England aster that explodes with rich, grape‑purple blooms in late summer and fall. Its dense habit and saturated color make it a standout pollinator magnet during the season when gardens need it most.

Key Features:

• Compact, upright habit—no flopping
• Late‑season pollinator powerhouse
