Gymnaster savatieri ‘Edo Murasaki’

Thick pillows of dark green, semi-evergreen foliage are a nice backdrop for blue-purple, yellow centered flowers on 12-15” tall stems most of the summer in clumps 2-3' wide.  As with most of the Aster family, these are easily grown in average soil, sun to part shade, moderate watering; drought tolerant.  Performs well even in hot, humid summers.
