Aster oblongifolius
Aromatic Aster Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Aromatic Aster is stiff, and bushy (up to 4 feet) with light violet flower rays. Pale green leaves when crushed have a spicy smell. Grows naturally in dry, open areas with somewhat alkaline soil but would be suitable for a dry spot in the middle of the garden border, in a natural setting, or you could use it as a flowering hedge. Flowering persists from early fall until hard frosts. This one is an absolute knock-out in flower. Try it where it could drape over a wall or bank. Reduce its height by half in early summer and it will be even denser and shorter. One of our all-time favorites. Cat# 1029
