Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say New England aster, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae or Aster novae-angliae (a cultivar name such as 'Purple Dome' is fine)? New York aster (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii), China aster (Callistephus) and other asters are different plants. If unsure, choose I'm not sure.
