Aster laevis, commonly known as smooth aster, is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. It features smooth, blue-green leaves and produces clusters of small, daisy-like flowers with blue or violet petals and yellow centers. Blooming in late summer to fall, it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, making it a popular choice for gardens and natural landscapes. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it is often used in wildflower meadows and prairie restorations.
