New England Aster Wildflower Seeds (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae)

Enhance your garden with the striking beauty of New England Aster. This native perennial produces abundant purple flowers from late summer into fall, providing a vital nectar source for pollinators, especially monarch butterflies preparing for migration.

Key Features:

  • Pollinator Friendly: Attracts butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects, supporting local ecosystems.
  • Native Habitat: Thrives in prairies, meadows, and along roadsides, adaptable to various garden settings.
  • Growth Habit: Typically reaches heights of 3-6 feet, adding vertical interest to your landscape.

Planting Instructions:

For successful germination, New England Aster seeds require cold stratification:

  • Outdoor Sowing: Scatter seeds in late summer, fall, or early spring (before February 15) onto loosened soil. Lightly water after sowing.
  • Indoor Sowing: Mix seeds with moist sand, place in a sealed plastic bag, and refrigerate for 8 weeks. After stratification, plant seeds indoors 1/16" deep, 2" apart, and transplant outdoors between May and July, spacing plants 2-3 feet apart.

Growing Conditions:

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun locations for optimal blooming.
  • Soil: Adapts to various soil types; thrives in moist, well-drained soils.
  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during establishment.

Additional Tips:

  • Companion Planting: Pairs beautifully with fall-blooming goldenrod, creating a striking blue and gold display.
  • Seed Saving: Allow flowers to mature and dry on the plant; collect seeds by hand in late fall for future planting.

Introduce New England Aster to your garden for a burst of autumn color and to support essential pollinators during their critical migration period.
