It brings an airy, naturalistic texture to borders and meadow plantings and is a dependable choice for gardeners seeking a hardy, low-maintenance native wildflower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFalse aster is primarily grown as an ornamental for cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and naturalized meadows, where its fine texture contrasts nicely with bold-leaved perennials and ornamental grasses. Plants form upright, bushy clumps and bloom profusely from late summer into autumn, extending seasonal interest when many other flowers have faded. Seeds may be scattered in prepared beds in fall or cold-stratified before spring sowing.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Boltonia asteroides\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, bushy clumping\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Average to moist, well-drained\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14-30 days with light; cold stratification improves results\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press in, do not bury deeply\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18-24 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms late summer to fall\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664767844488,"sku":"BLOOM-085","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7851320826_a243_00e757a8-95e7-43d3-bbb8-ed421c7bf6db.jpg?v=1791898789","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/500-boltonia-false-aster-seeds-heirloom-native-wildflower-garden-planting","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
