Sky Blue Aster, A Delicate Jewel for Pollinators

Invite the gentle flutter of butterflies to your garden with this graceful native perennial, a host plant beloved by the Pearl Crescent and Silvery Checkerspot butterflies. As a nectar source for the Red Admiral and Bronze Copper butterflies, this dainty pinkish aster adds a soft charm to any setting. Whether swaying gently in a meadow, nestled in a flower pot, or gracing your garden, it stands just 1 to 3 feet tall, making it a perfect fit for any space.

Native to the wild beauty of Eastern North America, this well-behaved aster is a favorite for good reason—drought-tolerant and easygoing under the sun, blooming in the late summer months of August and September. Sow in the cool days of late fall and watch it flourish without overwhelming its companions. Let this aster become a centerpiece of your pollinator haven, a testament to the elegance of nature, and one of our most cherished.
