Zig-zag (Symphyotrichum prenanthoides)

From $6.00Price

  • I'm native to NY state and Tompkins County.

    I'm one of the shorter asters.

    I like woodland edges.

    I have narrow leaves and a crooked stem.

    I have multiple branching stems that create an attractive rounded mound.  

    I self-seed readily.

    I'm the host plant of the Pearl Crescent Butterfly
