This lovely native Aster forms a clump of smooth-leaved, upright, blue-green foliage that remains attractive through the season. Clusters of light blue flowers appear on 2-4' tall stems in late summer into fall. An early season trim will keep it closer to 2-3' tall. Otherwise, staking may be necessary. Smooth Aster is drought resistant and a valued host to many pollinators. Plant 18" apart. Photos Courtesy of Mary Hall. Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun USDA Hardiness Zones: 4-8 Show more
