Ionactis linariifolius
Common name: Stiff Aster
Formerly Aster linariifolius, this slow growing perennial stays small, typically topping out at 18". Although each plant only produces one small cluster of flowers, sometimes with only a single bloom per plant, they attract a number and range of pollinators, especially bees. Because of its small habit and its minimal spread, it is a great choice for smaller native gardens, and as a late bloomer, can offer a beautiful display in the fall. Best planted in bunches to maximize the number of blooms.
