New England Aster is a late-bloomer that provides nectar to butterflies deep into the fall. It has flowers ranging from purple to pink. Don't be alarmed if lower leaves are shed during bloom—it's perfectly normal. Prune early to encourage bushy growth rather than standing tall. Hosting various moth varieties, this aster is a dynamic addition to your garden. Remove seed heads to prevent overcrowding. This flower is also salt-tolerant. Symphyotrichum novae-angliae is part of our Monarch Meal Plan of 9 native plants that are vital contributors to the well-being and life cycle of Monarch butterflies that you can learn more about here.
