{"product_id":"symphyotrichum-cordifolium","title":"Symphyotrichum cordifolium","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a hint of fall is in the air and our shade gardens look tired, we often look to nature for inspiration. Masses of Blue Wood Asters covered in light blue Daisy-like flowers weaving through other wildflowers at woodland edges is one sight well worth transporting home. The flower color of \u003cem\u003e Symphyotrichum cordifolium\u003c\/em\u003e is variable, ranging from intense blue to paler tones to nearly white. Its heart-shaped basal leaves form a handsome ground cover, mingling with other woodland plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSymphyotrichum\u003c\/em\u003e is primarily native to North America, with a few species occurring in South America and Eurasia. This large genus within the Aster family includes over 90 species of mostly perennial plants that are hardy in Zones 3 through 8. Profuse, Daisy-like flowers bloom in late summer to fall, presenting a palette of colors, typically in shades of blue, purple, white, and pink. These blooms play a crucial role in supporting pollinators—such as bees and butterflies—when other blooms are diminishing. Plants prefer full sun to partial shade and thrive in well-drained soil, although they are adaptable to a variety of moisture levels and soil types. Symphyotrichums create a naturalistic planting and are a vibrant addition to perennial borders, providing both late-season color and an essential food source for wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on growing and care, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"1 pint pot","offer_id":47979279679641,"sku":"0038817-F","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/42385.jpg?v=1782074047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/products\/symphyotrichum-cordifolium","provider":"White Flower Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
