Despite its common name, it is not a true aster but a robust member of the aster family, valued for its profuse flowering and easy-going nature. The plant forms upright stems clothed in narrow, gray-green leaves and is topped in late summer and fall with masses of white flowers that attract pollinators. False Aster is an excellent choice for meadow plantings, rain gardens, perennial borders, and native plant landscapes, where its tall, airy habit adds texture and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfuse white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlooms from late summer into fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpright, clump-forming habit with narrow gray-green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNative to North America and well-suited to naturalized areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boltonia asteroides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average to moist, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to high; tolerates wet conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalse Aster seeds can be sown directly outdoors in fall or stratified for spring planting. For best results, scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them lightly, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings are established. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation. False Aster thrives in moist to average garden soil and performs well in rain gardens or low-lying areas. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first year. Established plants are relatively low-maintenance; taller stems may benefit from staking in exposed sites. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500 False Aster (Boltonia asteroides) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835992047926,"sku":"FOLIA2-1598","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7431027615_nktl.jpg?v=1793096980","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/500-false-aster-seeds-boltonia-asteroides-native-white-wildflower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
