An exquisite native perennial for a rock garden, xeric border, or other dry sunny niche, flax-leaved aster forms finely textured hummocks of needle-like leaves that are the equal of any heather or conifer.  The display ratchets up another notch in late summer, when starry lavender-blue flowers open at the stem tips.  Rarely offered.  These plants are from Rhode Island seed.

Sun; average to dry soil (drought tolerant); 1'x1'; late summer to fall; RI native; Zone 3

Propagated from RI seed; deep 3.5-inch pots
