100 Seeds Panicled Aster Symphyotrichum lanceolatum Native Wildflower Perennial
Panicled Aster is a native perennial wildflower known for its tall, branching stems and abundant clusters of small white to pale violet daisy-like blooms that open in late summer and continue into autumn. Its airy, graceful flower panicles sway gently in the breeze and bring a natural meadow character to gardens, prairies, and naturalized areas.
These plants work beautifully in pollinator gardens, wildflower meadows, rain gardens, and mixed perennial borders, and their long bloom season adds late-year interest after many other flowers have faded. Seed heads can be left standing for winter structure and wildlife value, or stems can be cut back after flowering. Seeds are easy to sow and reward gardeners with steadily expanding clumps over time.
