Asters love full sun and bloom from late summer into fall. Pictured is the cultivar Aster x frikartii ‘Wunder von Stäfa’. This herbaceous perennial features dark leaves and daisy-like flowers that are violet with yellow centers. Consider using in containers or as border plantings because they can reach 28 inches tall. They also attract butterflies to your garden.
