Aster flower
September Birth Flower
Aster flowers provide a beautiful addition to a fall flower garden. When so many other flowers end of their growing season, asters continue to thrive and provide brilliant color and scent to an otherwise sad landscape. Also known as starworts, frost flowers or Michaelmas daisies, the name aster is derived from the word of Greek meaning “star”.
Asters are an easy-to-grow perennial that can grow well in average soil, but they need full sun. A majority of the aster plants are perennials. Some of them are annuals and biennials. They are one of the people’s favorite choice for the flower arrangements in fall and winter. Asters can grow in all hardiness zones. Plants of this genus are native to temperate areas of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Aster is closely related to the chrysanthemum. The flowers resemble those of the daisy, they consist of a central disc surrounded by numerous rays.
