This aster is basically wild, identified as one of the the most common flowers in the area of the Great Smokies. It is sometimes not welcome in gardens because it is quite vigorous and tall. But on the other hand, a clump of these flowers is beautiful in the fall. It grows 5-6 feet tall. My neighbor has a large clump of these in the corner of her yard. They are beautiful and eye-catching. Often this flower is allowed to languish off to the side to ensure that it doesn't take over the flower bed. It can, however, be brought under control without too big a struggle. It is a passalong plant--an under-appreciated one.
