New England Aster Live Plant | Symphyotrichum novae-angliae | Native Pollinator Perennial Starter Plant

Bring brilliant late-season color to your garden with New England Aster, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its vibrant purple to violet daisy-like flowers, golden-yellow centers, and exceptional pollinator value. Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, commonly known as New England Aster, is a hardy North American native perennial that provides an important nectar source when many other flowers have finished blooming. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, butterfly gardens, prairie plantings, native landscapes, cottage gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from late summer through fall.

New England Aster thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Its upright stems produce masses of colorful flowers that attract Monarch butterflies, native bees, swallowtails, skippers, and other beneficial pollinators. As a valuable late-season nectar plant, it helps support migrating Monarch butterflies while adding vibrant autumn color to the landscape. Once established, this long-lived native perennial is easy to grow and requires minimal maintenance.
