Symphyotrichum laeve

from $8.50

Symphyotrichum laeve | smooth blue aster

Smooth blue aster blooms late in the season, typically until frost. Flowers are lavender-blue with yellow centers. This species gets its common name because its foliage lacks the fine leaf hairs common to asters. This trait unfortunately makes it slightly more appealing to deer and rabbits than many of its aster relatives, but it spreads slowly and persists for many years, making it a quite a useful aster for small gardens.
