Description
Smooth aster (Symphyotrichum laeve, formerly Aster laevis) is a lovely option in an outstanding genus of perennials for the fall garden. With upright stems typically reaching 2 to 4 feet tall, it fits easily into beds and borders; it adapts to a range of soil conditions; and it’s usually not bothered by powdery mildew or other fungal diseases. The clouds of lavender-blue flowers appear in September and October, much to the delight of butterflies, and they combine beautifully with goldenrods (Solidago) and fall-colored deciduous trees and shrubs. The species is native to much of North America; these seeds are from wild plants growing in my meadow in Bucks County, PA. Full sun. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8.
Collected in early November 2022. At least 20 seeds. PA ecotype.
