Symphyotrichum Novae-angliae 'Pink Crush'

Colorful rose-pink blossoms smother the mounding North American native Symphyotrichum (Aster) novae-angliae 'Pink Crush,' adding lively color and a valuable source of food for pollinators to the autumn garden. This head-turner is a bit shorter than its sibling ‘Grape Crush,’ inviting gardeners to create stepped mounds of color for a brilliant autumn show. PP 33,628

We count Asters among the great garden plants, because many of them hold off blooming until late summer and fall, when most garden plants are spent. Plants grow and flower best in full sun and evenly moist soil; they do not like drought.
