Aster incisus

Aster incisus is a perennial herb distinguished by its deeply lobed leaves and daisy-like flowers. The flower heads comprise yellow central discs surrounded by slender, often purple-tinted rays, giving it a wild, unkempt charm. Thriving in sunny, well-drained conditions, aster incisus adapts vigorously to meadows and open woodlands, where its blooms attract a plethora of pollinators throughout the late summer and fall.
