The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Symphyotrichum ciliolatum, Lindley's Aster

~More coming along for the August 30th sale~

Symphyotrichum ciliolatum    

Lindley's Aster

  • Full sun to partial shade
  • Average to moderately dry soils.
  • 36” to 48” tall, spreading to form a patch
  • Late summer and fall blooming
  • Ontario Native, Meadow or open woodland species

Still new to me, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library 

Online information about this species, beyond identification tips, seems to be a bit sparse but as far as I’ve been able to find it seems that they have a growth pattern and growing preferences similar to Panicled Aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum), which means a fair amount of adaptability, paired with a capacity to spread quite vigorously.

Companion species would be most meadow grasses, other Asters and Goldenrods, as well as lower growing species like Wild Strawberry.
