Aster Calico

Calico Aster is a late-blooming perennial native to Ontario. In late summer, it produces an abundance of small white flowers that provide an excellent food source for late-season pollinators. The centre of each flower begins yellow before shifting to pinkish-purple and eventually golden brown, often giving the plant a mix of colours at the same time.

Calico Aster grows best in full to part sun with moist, well-drained soil, though it can adapt to drier conditions once established.
