Plant this, not that! Native fall asters like New England Aster and Smooth Aster are just as stunning as the often disposable non-native garden mums. Our native fall asters are an important nectar source for late-season pollinators, including Monarchs who are currently migrating to Mexico. Head to your closest native plant nursery to pick up a beautiful native fall aster or order a native plant seed mix such as TEC's bumble bee wildflower mix to experience these magnificent flowers in your own yard! https://lnkd.in/gdavr22Y
