Climbing aster is a vigorous herbaceous perennial that typically achieves sprawling heights of over 10 feet (3 meters). This plant is designed to climb, utilizing surrounding structures like fence posts or trellises for support. Its long, arching stems bear horizontal side branches, which gracefully interweave with other plants, assisting in its structural integrity. The foliage presented by climbing aster helps to distinguish it, providing a lush backdrop for the subsequent flowering display.
