Aromatic Aster is a captivating native perennial celebrated for its profusion of delicate lavender-blue flowers, each adorned with golden centers. As a late-season bloomer, Aromatic Aster provides a vital nectar source for pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects, supporting their populations and contributing to the overall health of local ecosystems. 
 
Aromatic Aster grows in full sun and well-drained soils and is deer, drought, and rabbit-tolerant. Its mounding shape makes it a lovely choice for a border, walkway, or naturalized area.  
 
Aromatic Aster supports 7 species of specialized bees and is a host plant to Silvery Checkspot Butterflies and several moths.
