Shipping Notice: Due to increased customer demand, please allow approximately 3 weeks for order processing and shipping. We are working hard to fulfill orders as quickly and carefully as possible.
This is an early flowering aster that blooms in umbels of smaller, cream-white flowers with yellow centers. It starts flowering much earlier than other asters, and continues until September.
It attracts a wide range of native pollinators. It's palatable to mammals and wild turkey, so it may be difficult to establish where deer are overpopulated. It can self-seed and will spread by rhizomes, but not aggressively.
Perfect for flower beds, meadows, naturalistic plantings, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens, and rain gardens.
Blooming Time: July - September
Size: 5' tall x 2-3' wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 9
Culture: full sun, half shade; prefers sandy loam or loam, will grow fine in average garden soil and will probably tolerate some clay too.
Moisture Needs: average to moist/wet
Origin: native to East/Central North America (USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: no / no
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: long- and short-tongued bees, wasps, flies, beetles and butterflies
Attracts Hummingbirds: no; swamp sparrows feed on the seed
Pot Size: 3.5" x 4" perennial pot
