Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist (MCH) members of the Massachusetts Nursery and Landscape Association are sharing their favorite plant variety of the season through our Plant Selfie Challenge. Visit often to see what they choose to showcase.
Symphyotrichum laeve ‘Bluebird’ (formerly Aster laevis ‘Bluebird’)—this native perennial is a showstopper throughout the later part of the season, blooming continuously from August through frost. It requires little maintenance and grows in almost any condition (wet, dry, sandy, sun and part shade). A heavy self-seeder, edit seedlings in the spring to manage spread.
