Asteranthemum Vulgare

Field aster, scientifically known as Asteranthemum vulgare, is a hardy flowering plant commonly found in meadows and open fields across temperate regions. It is recognized for its vibrant purple or pink blossoms that bloom in late summer and early autumn. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sunlight, making it a popular choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance ornamentals. Its ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies adds ecological value to its surroundings. Despite its modest appearance, the field aster plays an important role in both natural landscapes and cultivated gardens.
