Aster laevis ‘Bluebird’
at Digging Dog
Bluebird Smooth Aster
Michaelmas Daisies
We never tire of Aster’s cheerful daisy
faces and the profusion of colors and sizes that make
up this genus, from 6 ft. giants to tiny dwarf
alpines. Our Asters, large and small, are tried and true
performers in ordinary garden soil and full sun.
Generally late summer bloomers, they provide lots
of oomph when other perennials have petered out. Aster laevis ‘Bluebird’ 
If you are looking for a Aster with engaging late
season color, impeccably handsome mildew resistant
foliage and a medium-sized frame that never needs staking, look no farther! Clad in glabrous, bluish green leaves, the vase-shaped clump showcases numerous broad, bouquetlike clusters of single, one inch wide, delicately rayed petals gathered by
gilded centers. The jubilant floral display is elevated on
red-hued stems and seems to cover the entire top half
of the plant. Undeterred by varied moisture levels
and soil types, ‘Bluebird’ is a Mt.
Cuba Center introduction.
Blooms August–October. Size: 4' high x 2'–2-1/2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Aster laevis ‘Bluebird’ (p-1240)
