Sky Blue Aster

The best landscapes shine in every season, but that does take careful planning. Asters are a beautiful, sweet blue daisy-shaped flower that blooms from late August into October.

After the heat of the summer, fall is a wonderful time to enjoy your backyard! Plan for these cooler days with flowers that shine in the later part of the growing season.

Sky Blue Aster (Aster azureus, or Symphyotrichum oolentangiense - whew!) is a North American native wildflower, carefully grown by our expert growers. In the wild, it grows along the edge of woodlands and loves the full sun of the open prairie.

In your garden, plant in the middle of your border.

It features an airy texture, so you'll want to plant shorter, sturdy groundcover in front, and taller, coarse perennials or small shrubs. You'll love the way it seems to "float" between rougher textures.

And you aren't the only one who will love it. Butterflies rely on these late season nectar sources. Monarchs need fuel for their long migratory journey.

Consider including a collection of Asters in your landscape or use in summer container gardens as lovely "Fillers". You'll also love using these for cut flowers inside your house.
