    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This charming wildflower is native to Washington, Oregon and California. Short basal foliage pushes up taller flower stems in mid summer. The lavender and yellow blooms are loved by many pollinators. One of our smallest, most well behaved asters, it would love a center stage at the front of the border or in your rock garden.
