Symphyotrichum laeve (Smooth Aster) Seed
Description
Symphyotrichum laeve, commonly known as Smooth Aster, is a perennial wildflower native to prairies, woodlands, and open fields in North America. It grows up to 3 feet tall, with smooth, bluish-green stems and violet-blue flowers with yellow centers that bloom in late summer to fall. These blooms are a significant nectar source for pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
Smooth Aster thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils. It is highly adaptable to drought and poor soils, making it an excellent addition to restoration projects and pollinator gardens. Its long blooming season provides essential late-season resources for wildlife.
