Featuring nicely shaped blooms, Aster novi-belgii ‘Ada Ballard’ (New York Aster) features masses of large, double, lavender-blue flowers, 3 in. across (7.5 cm), with a sunny yellow center. Borne on slender, branched stems bearing lance-shaped, mid-green leaves, they bloom for weeks from late summer to mid-fall and enliven any sunny corner of the garden. Native to North America, this eye-catching Aster is easy to grow, long-lived, brings cheerful fall color, and is a great source of nectar for butterflies.
Aster novi-belgii, commonly known as New York Aster, belongs to the Asteraceae family, including yarrows, chrysanthemums, and sunflowers. The Genus Aster contains over 600 species and thousands of hybrid varieties, providing a wide choice to pick from, as they all vary in habit, height, flower color, leaf shape, and growing conditions. The flowers of New York Asters are always held in sprays rather than individually and provide an outstanding late-season show.
