100 Seeds Prairie Aster Symphyotrichum turbinellum Native Perennial Wildflower

Prairie Aster, Symphyotrichum turbinellum, is a native perennial wildflower known for its profusion of small, daisy-like blooms that appear in late summer and autumn. This adaptable species brings late-season color to meadows, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes, forming tidy clumps of narrow green foliage topped with clouds of soft lavender-blue flowers.

Its nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly plantings. Prairie Aster works well in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and prairie restorations, and the sturdy stems make it suitable for cut flower arrangements. Plants are easy to grow and return reliably year after year once established.
