New England Aster
Tall and majestic, New England Aster rules the prairie in autumn. The deep blue to purple, and sometimes pink flowers are highlights of the late season wildflower garden. Blooms late into the fall, well after the first frosts.
New England asters last as a cut flower for 5-7 days when properly harvested. Cut the stems when ¼ of the flower has opened and place it immediately into water.
