New England Aster in bloom
New England Aster is among the showiest and most beautiful of all the asters.  
 
     Just as summer is winding down, New England Aster bursts forth with large, medium- to dark-purple petals surrounding a sunny, yellow center disc.  
 
     New England Aster loves full sun and is adaptable to moist soils.  It is a tall plant and provides excellent vertical appeal.  
 
     A pollinator favorite, it provides special value to native bees and late-season nectar for Monarchs and other butterflies.  It is a larval host to the Checkerspot and Pearl Crescent butterflies.
