Asters are daisy-like perennials with starry-shaped flower heads that range in color from white to blue to purple for fall interest. They also attract great numbers of bees and butterflies, providing the pollinators with an important late-season supply of nectar. Fun fact! The name “aster” comes from the Ancient Greek word for “star”—a reference to the plant’s star-shaped flowers. https://www.almanac.com/plant/asters
