Aster Laevis – Smooth Blue Aster

Description

Aster laevis (Smooth Aster) needs cold stratification (winter conditions) for best germination, enjoys full sun to light shade, thrives in well-drained soils, offers late-season blooms for bees, butterflies, and birds, and serves as a valuable wildlife garden, cut flower, and host plant for Pearl Crescent butterflies, requiring minimal fuss once established.
