Whorled wood aster exhibits a unique morphology with elongated, lance-shaped leaves arranged in an alternating pattern. Each leaf is typically about 3 to 6 inches (7.5 to 15 cm) long, with sharply pointed tips and finely toothed margins. The plant is characterized by its distinctive inflorescence, composed of numerous small, aster-like flowers that feature light purple to pinkish petals surrounding a central yellow disc. These blooms are perched atop slender stems that can reach heights of 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm). The appearance of the flowers gives whorled wood aster a delicate yet robust presence in its preferred shady woodland habitats.
