Glaucous wood aster is a native Rocky Mountain perennial that produces delicate lavender to white daisy-like flowers in late summer and fall. It prefers partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and performs best in cool mountain climates. Once established it requires minimal care and is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens and native plant landscapes.
