Asters are a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are commonly used in landscaping for their showy, daisy-like flowers which bloom in the fall. They come in a range of colors including pink, purple, blue, and white. Asters can be planted as perennials in most regions, and are hardy in USDA zones 3-8. They typically grow to be about 2-4 feet tall and wide, and prefer full sun to partial shade. They are also known for their easy care and their attraction of butterflies and pollinators. They are great addition to any garden and can be used in borders, mass plantings, and cut flower arrangements.
