Aster ageratoides ‘Ezo Murasaki’

(1 customer review)

£5.95

If you’re looking for a plant that brings vibrant color to the garden just as summer starts to fade, Aster ‘Ezo Murasaki’ is a perfect choice. This stunning perennial is known for its rich, velvety purple flowers with golden-yellow centers, blooming in late summer and well into autumn. It’s like a last hurrah before winter, keeping borders lively when many other plants are winding down.

Ezo Murasaki is a refined and resilient aster that brings a gentle wash of mauve-lavender blooms to the autumn border. This Japanese cultivar of Aster ageratoides is known for its loose, airy habit and clouds of daisy-like flowers from September into November—just when the garden needs a final lift.

Unlike some taller asters, ‘Ezo Murasaki’ stays manageable at around 60–80 cm, with bushy, slightly arching stems that create a graceful, informal shape. Its flowers are small but profuse, and they draw in bees and butterflies with gusto.

This variety is also impressively adaptable: it’s mildew-resistant, long-lived, and happy in sun or light shade. It naturalises gently, making it perfect for informal borders, prairie-style planting, or softening the edges of paths and fences.
