Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Kickin Purple New England Aster is a compact, mounded native perennial with hairy stems with rough lance-like dark green leaves.  A profusion of semi double, deep lavender daisy-like flowers with a large yellow eye completely cover the plant from late summer into fall.  Prefers full sun and rich, moist soils.  

Aster novae-angliae provides nectar in fall and acts as a host for the Pearl Crescent, checkerspot butterflies, and various moths.  Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure.
