New York Asters (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii)

New York Asters appear in late Summer just as many perennials begin to fade.

Planted in drifts of 3 or more their large purple blooms are lovely to see when mixed with the brilliant yellows of native goldenrods.

As a host plant  they are a vital ‘nursery’ for their caterpillars of butterflies such as Silvery Checkerspot & Pearl Crescent. Birds depend on New York Asters for seed to survive through the Winter and of course caterpillars to feed baby birds in Spring. 

Plant Profile:

Grows up to 4’ tall
