New England Aster

New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae):

New England Aster is a showy, native perennial plant that produces masses of vibrant purple flowers in the late summer and fall. Its bright blooms make it a popular choice for adding color and visual interest to a garden at a time of year when many other plants have finished blooming.

New England Aster prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but is tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Prune this plant back early in the season to promote bushy growth. 

It is also an important food source for pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for supporting local wildlife populations.
