Aster
Aster is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae
The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word ἀστήρ (astḗr), meaning "star", referring to the shape of the flower head
Many species and a variety of hybrids and varieties are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers
Asters can grow in all hardiness zones
most are still widely referred to as "asters", or "Michaelmas daisies", because of their typical blooming period
Native to North America, New World asters comprise many species in several different genera of plants, as well as dozens of cultivars, but for gardeners, asters are simply great flowers that provide purple or blue daisy-like flowers late in the season
