Aster novae-angliae ‘Vibrant Dome’, is a richly colored, tidy, clump-forming variety featuring 2”, deep-purple flowers with golden-yellow centers floating above deep-green, strap-like foliage. It is one of the most compact and most floriferous fall-blooming aster. As a late-season garden star, Vibrant Dome blooms well into October and is a perfect choice for a carefree profusion of late-season color in your rock gardens, container plantings, and perennial borders.
You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to grow! Vibrant Dome Aster takes cold and hot weather like a champ. Reaching 15-18” in height and up to 24” in spread, its dense and sturdy stems readily support the vibrant flowers that supply beneficial nectar to late-season pollinators. This perennial is grown in Hardiness Zones 3-8.
Vibrant Dome Aster Care
Plant Vibrant Dome Aster in rich soil that is well draining and kept moist. Asters thrive when planted in a full- to partial-sun location, where they will receive 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. The more sun it receives, the less leggy the plant grows. Provide ample space between each plant to allow for good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew. Vibrant Domes’ compact habit makes staking unnecessary. Divide Vibrant Dome Aster every few years. You can leave the dried seedheads in place throughout the winter for birds to enjoy a nutritious snack.
Vibrant Dome Aster requires an annual trimming in early spring as it wakes up from winter dormancy. Prune the entire plant close to the ground at the first sign of new growth emerging in spring. Pinch back the stems once or twice during spring and early summer to promote compact, symmetrical growth. Avoid pinching back after July to give your plant enough time to develop flower buds for fall.
Vibrant Dome Aster Spacing
Vibrant Dome Aster is perfect as a colorful, late-season attraction. They make quite a show when planted en masse; be sure to space each plant at least 18 inches on center so the foliage isn’t touching and each plant receives adequate airflow to prevent powdery mildew.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
