Frost Aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum var. pilosum)

From $6.00Price
  • I'm native to NY state and Tompkins County, NY

    I grow best in moist soils and woodland conditions

    I'm called frost aster because my stems are covered with hairs which resemble frost.

    I can spread aggressively with seeds and rhizomes, so I make a nice ground cover. 

    My seeds were collected in Arnot, NY (2022)
