100 Seeds Short's Aster Symphyotrichum shortii Native Wildflower

Short's Aster (Symphyotrichum shortii) is a native perennial wildflower valued for its late-season blooms and graceful, airy form in meadow and woodland gardens. It produces abundant small daisy-like flowers with soft blue-violet petals and yellow centers, attracting pollinators when many other plants have finished blooming.
Ideal for naturalized areas, pollinator gardens, and perennial borders, Short's Aster grows as a clump-forming herbaceous perennial with narrow green foliage. Plant in full sun to part shade for best flowering, though it tolerates a range of conditions once established.
