Symphyotrichum ‘Prairie Perse’ is a fabulous aster with lilac flowers featuring pale yellow middles that quickly turn to rufous as they age. Blooming from September to October, this variety grows to a height of 1 metre and is as good as ‘Prairie Purple’ but with a lilac hue.

‘Prairie Perse’ is perfect for adding late-season colour to garden borders or mixed plantings. Its long-lasting flowers and unique colour transitions provide continuous interest, making it a standout choice for autumn gardens. This variety thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, ensuring a vibrant display throughout its blooming period.
