Aster dumosus 'Wood's Light Blue'
Bushy Aster
Plant Type: Native
'Wood's Light Blue' Aster produces tall clusters of blue-purple daisy-like flowers in the fall, bringing interest to the garden when other perennials have stopped blooming and also providing a crucial late source of pollen and nectar for butterflies and pollinators. This particular variety stands out for generally being avoided by rabbits and deer and also for having improved rust resistance. It would work well in perennial beds and borders, meadow style plantings, pollinator gardens, and cottage style gardens.
