    Masses of dark violet-purple daisies with golden yellow centres smother this compact, dome-shaped Michaelmas Daisy, Symphyotrichum novi-belgii 'Purple Dome', above narrow mid-green leaves. It delivers intense, jewel-like, long-lasting colour in a herbaceous or mixed border from late summer into autumn.

    It looks particularly good combined with golden yellows such as Rudbeckia, deep oranges, blues and pinks. Bred for improved mildew resistance, its nectar-rich flowers are very attractive to butterflies. An excellent cut flower too — deadheading faded blooms will prolong the display. Low maintenance, it prefers a rich, moist, well-worked soil in full sun.

    • Care Guide:

      Divide clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigour — any time after flowering but spring is preferred. Cut back stems after flowering in autumn. Taller selections may require staking. Symphyotrichum novi-belgii cultivars benefit from good air circulation to help prevent mildew.

    • Good to Know

      Pollinator-friendly — the flowers attract bees and other pollinators; the central disc turns from yellow to brown once pollinated.

      Vigorous and long-lived; clumps bulk up well over time.
