Typically growing 2–3 feet tall and 1–2 feet wide, it forms an attractive clump that stands out even before it blooms. In September through October, the plant produces abundant cornflower‑blue flowers that brighten dry, sunny landscapes when many other natives have finished flowering. Silky aster thrives in full sun, well‑drained sandy soil, making it well suited to Florida’s natural scrub and sandhill environments. Its nectar‑rich blooms attract a wide variety of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing an important late‑season food source while adding vibrant color and texture to native plant gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003ePerennial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg white-space-prewrap font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSize: 2-3 ft. tall by 1-2 ft. wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eFlower: Cornflower blue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eBlooms September - October\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eExposure: Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eMoisture: Well-drained\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg white-space-prewrap font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSand\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eNectar source for wide variety of bees, butterflies and other pollinators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eHost plant for Pearl Crescent butterfly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\/mp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Red Wagon Native Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42098703597623,"sku":"25110210","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/5768\/5559\/products\/NoPlantPhoto_BT_06b83dfa-63c2-417f-87f3-e2eda19b5d99.jpg?v=1666290861","url":"https:\/\/littleredwagonnativenursery.com\/products\/silky-aster-symphyotrichum-sericeum-1-gallon","provider":"Little Red Wagon Native Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
