100 Seeds Aromatic Aster Symphyotrichum oblongifolium Native Perennial Wildflower

Aromatic Aster is a hardy, low-maintenance native perennial known for its late-season bloom and fragrant foliage. With its dense, daisy-like purple-blue flowers and compact mounding habit, it brings lasting color to borders, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
This aster thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, blooming from late summer into fall when many other plants have finished. Its nectar-rich flowers are a valuable late-season resource for pollinators, and the plant works well in meadow plantings, cottage gardens, and containers. Seeds are easy to sow and establish.
