Michaelmas Daisies

Michaelmas Daisies, scientifically known as Asters, are vibrant perennial flowers that bloom in late summer to fall. They are valued for their star-shaped blossoms in shades of purple, blue, pink, and white, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Named after the Christian feast of Saint Michael, these daisies symbolize patience and elegance. They thrive in well-drained soil and sunny locations, making them popular in gardens for providing late-season color and sustenance for wildlife. Their hardy nature and long-lasting blooms make them a favored choice for both ornamental and ecological gardening.
