Plant Description
Smooth Aster is a favorite of ours because of its soft blue flowers and attractive glaucous, blue-green foliage. It forms stiffly arching stems to 4 feet tall that are covered with loose open heads of 1 inch, violet-blue-with-yellow flowers from late summer into fall. The foliage is smooth, low clumping, and is very disease resistant. This is a very easy aster for average soil in full sun. It would be a knock-out with Boltonia, Little Bluestem, Seashore Mallow, and Henry Eilers coneflower.
