HEATH ASTER in my garden - @CEGNatives

[@PeggyMills]

We have many wild asters in our rural area, Cathy. I have the mild mannered Stokes Aster in my beds.

Thanks for the comment. I have some short bushy blue asters that were just labeled 'asters'. Also have several ew England Asters that didn't do well this year.

everyone tends to want early blooms, understandably, but even experienced gardeners often overlook late season flowers... the asters & goldenrod asteraceae cousins get tarnished for being so hardy / resilient, get called a weed, but they are such beautiful flowers + important for pollinators.
Best from Zone 6 Cathy, enjoy your "offseason"

Thanks for commenting. I have many plants in my garden that some would pull as weeds.
