Maryland Golden Aster exhibits a vibrant display with bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that reach about 1-2 inches (2.5–5 cm) in diameter. This perennial typically stands erect at a height of 1-3 feet (30-90 cm), with narrow, lance-shaped leaves that may grow up to 4 inches (10 cm) long. Its stems are often hairy and can branch out near the top. The foliage provides a silvery-green backdrop, accenting the golden blooms which cluster at the tips of the stems and blossom predominantly in late summer and fall.
