Bigleaf Aster, also known as Large-Leaved Aster, prefers partial shade to full shade and moist, well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for shady garden beds or under trees. Bigleaf Aster typically grows 2 to 4 feet tall with a spreading growth habit. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are deep green and add a lush texture to the garden. From late summer to early fall, it produces clusters of small, daisy-like flowers with pale lavender-blue petals and yellow centers. The delicate blooms and textured foliage create a charming woodland aesthetic while supporting pollinators later in the year.
