Symphyotrichum patens

from $8.50

Symphyotrichum patens | late purple American-aster

As its common name implies, late purple aster flowers late—even blooming past most others in this genus. In the wild it is found in rocky or sandy soils and open woods, and is drought tolerant once established. Plants grow 2-3 feet tall and are best for cottage gardens, meadow gardens, and rock gardens. This species is rarely available in the commercial trade, but has unrealized merit for its long bloom season and more compact habit. Requires well-drained soil.
