Product Description

Add late-season color and fragrance to your garden with Aster oblongifolius, commonly known as Aromatic Aster. This resilient native perennial produces masses of lavender-blue, daisy-like flowers with golden centers from late summer through fall. Its finely textured, aromatic foliage releases a pleasant scent when touched, making it a sensory delight in any garden. Aromatic Aster is perfect for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, or naturalized landscapes, thriving in a variety of soils and requiring minimal maintenance.

Why Choose Aromatic Aster?

  • Vibrant Fall Blooms: Displays a profusion of lavender-blue flowers that brighten your garden in late summer and fall.
  • Fragrant Foliage: Releases a delightful fragrance when brushed, adding sensory appeal to your outdoor space.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Provides a late-season nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
  • Low Maintenance: Tolerates poor, dry soils and requires little care once established, making it a practical choice for sustainable gardening.

Cultivation Tips

  • Sunlight Needs: Prefers full sun for best flowering but can tolerate light shade.
  • Soil Preferences: Adaptable to a variety of soils, including rocky or sandy soils, as long as they are well-drained.
  • Watering Requirements: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.
  • Spacing: Plant 12-24 inches apart to allow for its spreading, clumping habit and to create a dense, colorful display.

Design Ideas for Your Garden

Aromatic Aster is ideal for adding late-season color to sunny borders, meadow gardens, or rock gardens. Pair it with fall-blooming plants like Goldenrod or native grasses such as Little Bluestem for a dynamic, pollinator-friendly landscape. Its compact, spreading growth makes it a great choice for edging pathways or filling in gaps in perennial beds.

Ecological Benefits

Aster oblongifolius is a crucial late-season nectar source for pollinators, supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects when other flowers have faded. Its hardy nature also helps stabilize soil, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly gardens and erosion-prone areas.

Add Aster oblongifolius – Aromatic Aster to your garden for its stunning blooms, fragrant foliage, and ecological benefits. This versatile and resilient native perennial will bring beauty and biodiversity to your outdoor space.
