New England Asters are long-living perennials native to most states in the USA, except the arid and tropical areas. They are important nectar plants for monarchs migrating back to Mexico. They prefer a sunny spot and are adaptable to most soils; they are also very drought tolerant even though they prefer medium to moist soils. Our plants are the Indiana genotype, which has purple-blue flowers.
The “legs” of New England Asters always lose leaves, so it's best to plant them at the back of a flower bed where medium-tall plants can obscure the bare stems. It can become floppy, especially with too much moisture, so you can plant other taller perennials nearby for stalk support. The “Chelsey chop” (cutting the stems back by 1/3 to ½ at the end of May/beg. June) can also be helpful - the plants will be shorter and bloom even more, slightly later than usual with slightly smaller flowers.
This aster can be used in cottage gardens, sunny borders, prairies, medium moist meadows, butterfly gardens, pollinator gardens, rain gardens or for naturalization. It looks good with Aster ericoides, Asclepias (incarnata or sullivantii), Baptisia, Helenium, Rudbeckia (fulgida, maxima, subtomentosa), Monarda (fistulosa, didyma, x hybrida),Liatris, Silphium or grasses like Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum, and Sorghastrum.
