500 False Aster Seeds Boltonia Asteroides Native Wildflower Pollinator Garden
False Aster (Boltonia asteroides) is a native North American wildflower that produces clouds of small daisy-like blooms in late summer and early fall. Its airy white to pale lavender flowers rise on tall stems above narrow blue-green foliage, creating a soft, natural look in meadows and perennial borders.
This easy-to-grow perennial is a favorite for wildflower plantings, pollinator gardens, and rain gardens, where its late-season blooms extend color after many other plants have finished. The flowers work well in fresh bouquets and dried arrangements, and the plant naturalizes readily in moist, open sites.
