New England Aster

Photographer:

A lovely meadow flower, the New England Aster comes in various shades of purple and reaches heights of 3-4 feet. It is a glory to the eye in the fall landscape when most other flowers are gone..

It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist soil conditions. It develops in expanding clumps and by self-seeding..

Bloom time: Late August through mid-September
