Aster Loriformis

Blueweed, scientifically known as Aster loriformis, is a striking wildflower native to the western United States. This plant is characterized by its vivid blue flowers that bloom in late summer and early fall. Despite its beauty, Blueweed is often overlooked due to its small stature and less showy appearance compared to other wildflowers. It thrives in dry, rocky habitats and is commonly found in desert environments. Due to its unique appearance and ecological importance, Blueweed plays a vital role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity.
