Sky Blue Aster
Aster Azureus
Sky Blue Aster has blue to blue-violet flowers. It is easy to grow and is drought tolerant. Blooming late summer to fall, like most Asters, it attracts butterflies and other beneficial insects such as small bees, flies, small to medium-sized butterflies, skippers and wasps. Sky Blue Aster prefers full or partial sun and can grow in many different types of soil, as long as it is well-drained. The leaves are smaller when heading upward along the stem and typically heart-shaped at the base.
