Aster

Asters, Eurybia & Symphyotrichum—
The Bright Daisies of Late Summer & Fall

Asters are among the great garden plants because most hold off blooming until many other plants are spent. They grow and flower best in full sun and evenly moist soil. In recent years, Asters have been reclassified under new species names depending on characteristics such as growth habit, blossom time, and preferred growing conditions. In addition to Asters, the species we offer for sale now include Eurybia and the tongue-twisting Symphyotrichum. All of these plants will continue to be grouped under 'Aster’ on our website and in catalogs so they are easy to find, but you will see the different names used for individual cultivars.
