How to grow aromatic aster
Symphyotrichum oblongifolium
When to plant aromatic aster
A dense, mounding native perennial for full sun and well-drained soil, propagated by its wind-dispersed seed. Its small purple flowers bloom from late summer until first frost; leave the dead, hollow stems standing over winter for stem-nesting native bees.
Aromatic Aster is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
