Our New England aster, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, is a stunning fall bloom that explodes with color when many are fading.
Pollinators find them pretty irresistible. They're a valuable late season food source for pollinators, and they are gorgeous to look at, so why not plant some?
The leaf bases have a distinctive way of wrapping around the stem, having auricles (lobes) that extend around the lightly hairy stem.
