350 Swamp Aster Seeds Heirloom Wildflower Perennial Native Garden Planting

Swamp Aster is a hardy native perennial wildflower that produces abundant daisy-like blooms with pale violet to lavender petals and yellow centers from late summer into fall. Its tall, upright habit and generous flowering make it an excellent choice for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
Swamp Aster thrives in moist to wet soils and is well suited to low-lying areas, pond margins, and water-wise native plantings where its late-season blooms support bees and butterflies. The long-lasting flowers also work well in fresh bouquets. Plants establish readily from seed and return year after year in suitable climates.
