Smooth Blue Aster is a hard-working wildflower with a wide native range across Eastern and Central North America. The long-lasting flowers feature soft blue petals that radiate from golden centers, which turn reddish later in the season. It is a butterfly magnet and a larval host for striking Pearl Crescent and Silvery Checkerspot butterflies. Happiest in a full-sun to part-sun spot and almost any soil type, Asters just need room to grow. This is an excellent choice for meadowscaping and natural garden design. Lovely lavender-blue flowers harmonize beautifully with Purple Coneflowers, Goldenrod, and Black Eyed Susans.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
