Smooth Blue Aster is a deciduous perennial in the Asteraceae family. In fall, lavender to blue
daisy-like flowers attract butterflies and specialized bees. This plant is a host for Pearl Crescent
Butterflies. Smooth Blue Aster likes full sun to part shade and can handle a variety of soil
conditions, if it has good drainage. This plant would be great for a pollinator garden or used as a border. If you like fall blooming plants like mums, consider planting asters instead!
