Aster Alpinus Subsp. Tolmatschevii

Aster alpinus subsp. tolmatschevii is a rare and elegant flowering plant native to the high mountain regions of Central Asia. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, known for its composite flower heads and medicinal properties. This subspecies is distinguished by its compact growth habit and vibrant blue to purple flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine meadows at elevations above 2,000 meters. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a conservation concern in its native range.
