Aster oblongifolius, now widely known as Symphyotrichum oblongifolium and commonly called Aromatic Aster, is a hardy native perennial historically found across the central and eastern United States in prairies, rocky slopes, and open woodlands. It is prized for its dense, bushy habit and its late-season display of abundant lavender-purple flowers with bright yellow centers, which provide vital nectar to pollinators when few other plants are in bloom. The foliage releases a pleasant, resinous fragrance when brushed, and the plant’s naturally compact form makes it ideal for borders and native plantings. To grow Aromatic Aster successfully, plant seeds or transplants in full sun and well-drained soil; once established, it is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and reliably forms a vibrant, mound-shaped display each autumn.
