“Wildflowers aren't meant to be cut & tamed. They're meant to be loved & admired.” – Anthony T. Hincks
Asters are wildflowers and range in colours from blue, purple, pink to white. They are commonly known as frost flowers as they bloom from late-summer to early-fall.
These autumn-blooming perennials attract loads of late season pollinating insects and during winter they provide food as well as habitat for many birds and small animals. Research shows that these wildflowers support many species of butterflies and moths, making them a pollinator's delight.
Wild asters are easy to grow from seed and offer an inexpensive way to beautify the landscape.The plant requires moist and well-drained soil. If the soil is very wet, it leads to rotting.To produce the prettiest flowers, Asters need plenty of sunlight.
A tryst with nature #wildaster
As they need plenty of sunlight, I thought it should be found in India. Yes. Seems they are found in northern India near Himalayas. All the best for your A2Z challenge.
