Description
Smooth Aster
This is a medium to tall aster that has upright arching branches that form an attractive vase shape that does not need staking when grown in the full sun. Extremely hardy, it is a great garden perennial for late summer and fall color, often into November. The profusion of lavender-blue blooms with yellow ceters are long lasting and makes a good border plant. Sow to allow plenty of room between plants. It is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Smooth Aster has leaves that are smooth to the touch. The blooms are very attractive to butterflies seeking nectar in the fall. Found in open woods, prairies, disturbed habitats, meadows and fields.
