New England Aster - Bare Root Plant
(Symphyotrichum novae-angliae)
By the time September arrives, many summer wildflowers have already gone to seed or are beginning to fade from their glory. Just when you start missing the long colorful days of summer, the New England Aster reminds you that it's not fall yet with its brilliant display of purple flowers. Indeed, this plant is the most striking native aster with deep purple blooms that can reach up to six feet tall. The remaining pollinators flock to it, especially monarchs who by now have begun their migration south.
New England Asters are also highly deer resistant and tolerant of a wide range of soil and light conditions, although they grow best in full sun and drier soils.
Hardiness: Zone 3-8
Soil: Loam, clay, average to low moisture
Light: Full to part sun
Options:
Bare Root Plants can be planted into loose soil in the Fall or Spring and kept moist until new growth emerges.
