Symphyotrichum ‘Wood’s Blue’, commonly known as Wood’s Blue Aster, is a compact, long-blooming perennial prized for its masses of violet-blue, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers. Blooming from late summer through fall, this charming aster provides vibrant seasonal color when many other garden plants are beginning to fade. Its dense, mounding habit and abundant blooms make it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
This low-maintenance perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Wood’s Blue Aster is adaptable, easy to grow, and an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, native-inspired landscapes, and late-season flower displays. Its nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial insects, helping support pollinator populations throughout the fall season.
Ideal for landscape borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, foundation plantings, and container gardens, Symphyotrichum ‘Wood’s Blue’ pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, coneflowers, goldenrods, and other late-blooming perennials. Whether planted as a colorful accent or used to create a sweeping floral display, Wood’s Blue Aster delivers exceptional fall color, wildlife value, and reliable performance in residential and commercial landscapes.
