New England aster is one of the most popular native perennials. The bushy plants bloom in late summer to fall with pink or purple flowers.
Most people like to pinch back the plants before the fourth of July to keep them compact and to delay blooming until the fall. Asters make good companion plants for ornamental grasses. Hardy in zones 3-9.
