Symphyotrichum novae-angliae (formerly Aster novae-angliae) is a species of flowering plant in the aster family native to central and eastern North America. Commonly known as New England aster, [4] hairy Michaelmas-daisy, [5] or Michaelmas daisy, [6] it is a perennial, herbaceous plant usually between 30 and 120 centimeters (1 and 4 feet) tall and 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 ft) wide.
Fall is a great time to divide many overgrown perennials.
Along with other asters that bloom in the fall, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum may be called a Michaelmas daisy. Narrow-leaf Michaelmas daisy is also one of its common names. [18] S. lanceolatum var. interior may be called interior white aster, [19] and S. lanceolatum var. latifolium may be called broadleaf panicled aster. [20]
This is the largest group of Michaelmas daisies, with over 1,000 named cultivars. [citation needed] They are valued for their late summer color in shades of blue, pink and white. They are best planted in an open, sunny position, and they are susceptible to fungal infections, especially if conditions are not ideal.
