Collection: Symphyotrichum

Family Asteraceae

Symphyotrichum — formerly classified within Aster, and mostly native to the Americas — is grown for its prolific daisy-like flowerheads, with yellow central discs surrounded by ray florets in shades of pink, blue, purple, and white. Many cultivars reach their peak around Michaelmas Day (29 September), giving rise to the much-loved common name Michaelmas Daisy. A magnet for late-season pollinators.
