New England Aster 'Pink Crush'

Pink Crush is a vibrant and compact New England Aster that delivers a bold splash of color in the late-season garden. It features dense clusters of bright, medium-pink daisy-like flowers with golden-yellow centers, blooming prolifically from late summer into fall—right when many other perennials are fading. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, especially butterflies and bees.

This upright, clump-forming perennial reaches about 2.5 to 3 feet tall and 2 to 2.5 feet wide. Unlike some asters, Pink Crush has a tidy, well-branched habit that resists flopping, making it ideal for borders, native plantings, and pollinator gardens. It thrives in full sun with average to moist, well-drained soil, and is hardy across a wide range of climates.

Key Features:

• Blooms from late summer into fall
  

• Strong stems resist flopping

• Excellent for pollinators—especially bees and butterflies
  

• Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8
  

Aster 'Pink Crush' brings late-season color, structure, and ecological value to the garden—perfect for extending bloom time and supporting pollinators into fall.
