100 Seeds Heart-Leaved Aster Symphyotrichum cordifolium Native Perennial Wildflower

Heart-Leaved Aster is a native perennial wildflower known for its abundant late-season blooms and heart-shaped foliage. It brings soft blue to lavender color to shaded borders and woodland gardens, making it a lovely choice for naturalized plantings and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
In garden use, Heart-Leaved Aster works well in woodland gardens, shade borders, and meadow plantings. It flowers from late summer into fall, providing color when many other plants have finished blooming, and its blooms are attractive to bees and butterflies. The plants prefer partial shade to shade and benefit from consistent moisture in well-drained soil. Seed can be sown directly outdoors after the last frost or started indoors in early spring for transplanting once conditions allow.
