Description
Heath Aster is a hardy perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, offering a dazzling display of small white daisy-like flowers from late summer to early fall. These delicate blooms, accented by bright yellow centers, create a striking contrast against the plant’s fine, emerald-green foliage. Known for its drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature, this perennial is perfect for rock gardens, borders, or naturalized areas. Its upright, bushy form adds texture and movement to any landscape, making it an excellent choice for mass plantings or container gardening.
Growing up to 30 inches tall with a spread of 3 feet, Heath Aster flourishes in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to both dry and moist conditions. This long-lived perennial attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while remaining deer-resistant, making it a practical yet beautiful addition to any Massachusetts garden. It requires minimal upkeep beyond a spring cleanup and is highly tolerant of urban environments. Whether planted in beds, borders, or containers, Heath Aster brings lasting beauty to outdoor spaces with its profusion of late-season blooms.
