Bushy Aster 'Woods Pink'
Aster dumosum syn. Symphyotrichum dumosum
Autumn showstopper! Lovely masses of pink blossom blossoms with gold centers, and attract oodles of pollinators. 'Woods Pink' is a dwarf form of our perennial Bushy Aster (native to WNC - and many other areas of the southeastern US), ideal for tucking in between spring and summer flowering plants, planting in entryway containers, and wherever you need lovely fall color. Great native alternative to mums. They prefer moist, well-draining soils but once established, these plants are heat and drought tolerant.
Ideal for: Butterfly Gardens, Flowering Meadows, Native Gardens, Pollinator Gardens, Rain Gardens, and more!
🐝Help bees and other pollinators! These plants are extra helpful to native specialist bees and attract beneficial insects to the garden.
🦋Help butterflies and moths! In NC, these are the host plants for at least 4 species of butterflies, 73 species of moths, and are nectar plants for 17 species of butterflies.
