Aster cordifolius
Blue Wood Aster Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Common in the woods of the southeastern mountains and surrounding areas, Blue Wood Aster is a lovely fall blooming aster for shade or sun. Like the White Wood Aster, it can help bring fall color to the wood's edge with its many branched inflorescences of 3/4 inch pale lavender-blue and yellow flower heads. Give it good soil and let it naturalize with Indian Pink, Alumroot, native Azaleas, and Green and Gold. In shade, it will sprawl somewhat to 3 feet in length, and in sun it will be fairly stiffly upright and up to 3 feet tall. In our sunny fall garden, it forms clouds of soft blue flowers intermediate in height between the bright yellow Tall Narrow Leaved Sunflower and the short deeper blue Wild Ageratum. It's a beautiful combination. Cat# 1022
