October Skies' Aromatic Aster is a North American native that brings a burst of color to your garden with its vibrant purple-blue flowers. This hardy perennial is a pollinator magnet, attracting bees and butterflies, which helps support local ecosystems. Its aromatic foliage adds a delightful scent to your outdoor space, making it a sensory delight. Perfect for borders or wildflower gardens, it thrives in sunny spots and is drought-tolerant once established.

Plant October Skies Aromatic Aster in full sun with well-drained soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, water only during prolonged dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Pinch back stems in late spring to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
