    Details

    Heart-Leaved Aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium) is a rugged, adaptable native aster that thrives where other plants may struggle. This 32-plant pack brings late-season beauty to urban gardens, dry soils, and disturbed sites, offering cone-shaped clusters of pale blue flowers with vibrant yellow and red centers.

    Blooming in late fall, this species plays a critical role in feeding pollinators preparing for winter, including bees gathering resources for next year’s brood. It grows well in part shade to full sun and tolerates poor soils, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes. While it may self-seed, unwanted seedlings are easy to manage with occasional thinning.

    Why Choose a Tray of Heart Leaved Aster?

    • Late-season nectar – Supports pollinators at a critical time.
    • Urban-tough – Handles poor soils, dry sites & partial shade.
    • Soft, showy blooms – Adds texture and color to fall plantings.

    Plant Heart-Leaved Aster in sunny or partly shaded spaces to enjoy a reliable, pollinator-friendly perennial that flourishes with minimal fuss and lights up the garden as the season winds down.
