October Skies Aromatic Aster

Symphyotrichum oblongifolium 'October Skies'

October Skies Aromatic Aster produces an abundance of lavender-blue, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers that create a colorful display in the fall landscape. The blooms appear generously across the plant, forming a soft layer of color above the aromatic green foliage. Its low, spreading habit creates a naturally full shape while keeping the plant well suited to smaller planting areas. Reaching about 18 to 24 inches tall and spreading 18 to 24 inches wide at maturity, it forms a rounded presence that works well in borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed plantings.
