Questions about the subject, usage, technology & more
What is the difference between New England aster and common aster?
New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) is a tall, robust perennial native to North America, typically reaching 60-150 cm. It features densely packed purple to violet ray florets around a bright yellow disc. Common garden asters are often hybrid varieties with a wider color range. New England aster blooms from late summer into autumn and is especially valuable for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
