Aster Woods Blue is a charming, compact perennial known for its profusion of bright blue, daisy-like flowers that bloom from late summer into fall. With its neat, mounding habit, growing up to 12 to 18 inches tall, this drought-tolerant plant is perfect for borders, rock gardens, or containers.

In addition to its visual appeal, Aster Woods Blue is deer-resistant and easy to care for, requiring only occasional watering and deadheading to encourage continuous blooms. This aster’s ability to thrive in a range of conditions makes it a versatile option for adding color and texture to your garden in late summer and fall.
