Late Purple Aster

Late Purple Aster (Symphyotrichum patens) is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. It blooms in late summer to fall with clusters of small, violet-purple daisy-like flowers that attract butterflies and bees. The plant typically grows in moist, open areas such as meadows, prairies, and along streambanks. Its slender stems and narrow, green leaves give it a delicate appearance. Late Purple Aster plays an important role in supporting pollinators during the late growing season and adds vibrant color to natural landscapes with its attractive, late-season blooms.
