New England Aster is a vibrant native perennial that delivers a burst of late-season color when many plants are fading. In late summer through fall, it produces masses of purple, pink, or lavender daisy-like flowers with golden centers that are highly attractive to pollinators, especially monarch butterflies. Tall, sturdy stems and dense growth make it ideal for meadows, borders, and native plantings. This easy-care plant thrives in full sun and average moisture, providing essential nectar and bold color at the end of the growing season.
