New England Aster steps into the spotlight — exploding with clouds of rich purple, pink, or violet blooms just when pollinators need them most. This bold, upright native perennial delivers vibrant fall color, essential wildlife support, and a natural beauty that makes it a must-have for any sunny landscape. From late summer into fall, New England Aster bursts into full flower with daisy-like blossoms that can cover the plant top to bottom, creating a tower of color that bees, butterflies (especially Monarchs), and other late-season pollinators flock to.
