Perennials - identifying a purple bush
Expert: Gill Borchardt - 10/27/2009
Question
I've seen a group of purple bushes flowering every year at a place of business in my town. When inquiring on the name of these beautiful bushes, I was told they were "Old English Asters" (as far as he could tell) and could not be purchased anymore but I could have a cutting. Please tell me what you know about these. We're in northern Indiana and these bloom in the fall. Thank you.
Answer
Hello Kathy
It is difficult to identify a plant from a description, I'm afraid - could you post a picture of two showing as much detail as possible - flowers, leafs, over-all plant, plus an indication of height/spread?
I don't think I've ever heard the term 'Old English Aster', although there are dozens of species and there are some which are known as 'sub-shrubs', but these usually grow very low to the ground and I have to say that I have never come across one.
