Heart-shaped leaves give way to clouds of small, pale blue flowers in late summer and fall. This shade-tolerant native is vital for late-season pollinators and thrives in dry woodland settings.

Plant Blue Wood Aster in well-drained soil with partial to full shade. Space plants 1-2 feet apart. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
