Compact, hardy fall flower - Aster dumosum 'Prof. Anton Kippenberg'
Aster dumosum 'Prof. Anton Kippenberg', also known as cushion aster, is a versatile fall bloomer that delights with its bright purple flowers from August to October. This compact perennial grows dense and bushy, forming a beautiful carpet of flowers that attracts bees and butterflies and fills the garden with color.
The cushion aster is hardy and thrives best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and requires minimal care. Pruning in late fall or early spring promotes vigorous growth and abundant flowering in the following season. Due to its compact growth habit, it is ideal for beds, borders, as a cut flower or for planting in containers.
