Symphyotrichum laeve (Wild Blue Aster)

$14.00$40.00

These blue asters are stunning to look at and easy to grow. They do well in the heat and in the cold making them drought tolerant and able to grow in diverse soils. (But it prefers drier, well-drained conditions.)

Also called a Smooth Blue Aster, these 1-4ft plants will be the first to bloom and will continue to wow your neighbors for 4 weeks with flowers that darken through summer.

Although these flowering delights can grow in part shade, it really thrives in full sun and will reward you with larger and more blooms throughout the season if they get lots of sunshine.

In addition to being stunning to look at and easy to grow, Asters are a beneficial plant for our pollinator friends. This is because they are an excellent nectar source.

Fun fact: there are 180 different types of Asters
