Description
Avondale Wood Aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium ‘Avondale’) is a reliable early fall bloomer ideal for Massachusetts gardens. This compact, bushy aster produces clouds of tiny pale blue flowers with cheerful yellow centers, providing color when many other plants are fading. It’s a great choice for shaded or woodland gardens and brings native beauty and pollinator interest to the landscape. Early blooming makes it stand out from other wood aster varieties.
This native perennial is especially valuable in Massachusetts where it extends the flowering season and complements fading hostas and ferns. Avondale Wood Aster fills the shade garden with soft color and supports late-season pollinators. Its carefree growth habit and tolerance for dappled light make it an excellent filler for naturalistic plantings. Avondale Wood Aster is a must-have for woodland-inspired New England gardens.
