Design with this plant

Overview

Aster hybrids (Aster spp.) are vibrant perennials that enliven gardens from summer through fall. Exhibiting daisy-like flowers in purples, blues, pinks, and whites, they are beloved for their profuse blooms and ease of care. Asters thrive in full sun to part shade and adapt to various soil conditions. Typically ranging from 1 to 6 feet in height and 1 to 4 feet in spread, they attract butterflies and support pollinators.
