Smooth Aster

Aster laevis 'Bluebird' is a robust, vase-shaped perennial known for its graceful, upright habit and exceptional disease resistance. It features smooth, lance-shaped, blue-green foliage that remains clean throughout the season. In late summer and fall, it produces a profusion of one-inch, violet-blue flowers with yellow centers. This native cultivar is ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator habitats, thriving in full sun to part shade and various soil types, including clay.
