Smooth Aster-Aster laevis

Smooth Aster Blooms

You'll enjoy a profusion of lavender-blue star- like flowers from August all the way into November. As a late bloomer, it's one of the few plants for butterflies seeking nectar in autumn. 


The strong 3 foot smooth stems help the aster stand out in a garden. Keep in full sun for best blooming.

In the lower half of Wisconsin, the Pearl Crescent butterfly finds this plant a favorite for larval hosting.
