Symphyotrichum novae-angliae
New England Aster

• New England Aster grows 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide on narrow, upright stems.

• In late summer it produces purple flowers with bright yellow centers that provide crucial nutrients to butterflies and other pollinators.

• Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil but grows well in a variety of conditions.

• Horticulturist’s Notes: New England aster often requires staking. Prune stems down to half height in late spring to create shorter, more manageable plants.
