Mt Cuba Center says: "one of our most reliable native perennial asters. It has a strikingly beautiful mounded appearance with masses of violet-blue, daisy-like flowers on 2-3’ tall multi-stemmed plants in mid to late autumn"

A great late season source of pollen and nectar for the pollinators. Asters are a larval host plant for several species of butterflies and moths including the Silvery Checkerspot. Seeds are enjoyed by birds in the winter like Juncos.

Produces a full and robust plant that tolerates a variety of conditions.
