Symphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Dragon’—This true Dragon Aster was discontinued in 2020 and replaced with ‘Dragon Improved’ or ‘Dragon Blue’. Unfortunately the original had larger blooms, with one of the richest and deepest purples I’ve seen yet on an Aster. The center yellows fade slowly and turn dark purple before the flowers and in turn make the rest of the yellows really stand out.
