New England Aster

Aster novae-angliae

New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) is a perennial forb native to Eastern and Central US states (such as New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, and North Carolina) that can thrive in USDA Zones 3–8. Reaching a mature height of 3–6 feet with a tall, stout, clumping growth habit, it features hairy, lance-shaped leaves that clasp the stem and produces abundant bright violet-purple daisy-like blooms with yellow centers. It thrives in moist prairies, wet meadows, stream banks, and roadsides in full sun and is ideal for wet prairie restoration, late-season butterfly forage, and roadside revegetation.
