A compact, standout native cultivar forming a dense, rounded mound covered in hundreds of vibrant, deep violet-purple daisy flowers with bright yellow centers. Blooms profusely from late summer through mid-fall, providing critical late-season nectar for migrating butterflies and pollinators when most other perennials fade. Naturally disease-resistant and sturdy, it needs no staking or pinching to keep its neat, domed shape. Ideal for front-of-border plantings, rock gardens, and autumn containers.
