About Aster Twilight (aster)

Aster macrophyllus Twilight - It emerges from small colonies of underground rhizomes. Thus begins the groundcover phase where plants consist of robust rosettes of 4” to 8” toothed heart shaped leaves. The stems usually develop a red-purple color and bear tiny sessile leaves. Stems are topped with flat topped branched flower clusters from late summer until mid-fall.  The large flower heads consist of a ring of lavender blue petal-like ray flowers.  The rays surround a central cluster of yellow disc flowers.  By the time the flowers are produced, the basal leaves have disappeared. Plants grow 2.5-3’ tall with 2-3’ spread.  Family: Asteraceae
