Symphyotrichum oblongifolium

Aromatic Aster

One of the last wildflowers to bloom, this aster is loaded with purple flowers with yellow ceners that persist into late fall. This aster grows into a tidy, compact, self-supporting mound and is a real treasure in the fall garden. Like other asters, it can be pruned until mid-June to promote denser habit and increased blooms.
