In late summer to mid-fall, small daisy-like asters cover the plant. The individual flower heads are composed of a ring of blueish petal-like ray flowers surrounding a central cluster of yellow disc flowers and are attractive to bees, skippers and butterflies.  The heads are produced in profusion and are about ½” in diameter.  Plants are tough and adaptable prospering in sun or shade and in difficult disturbed sites.  Individual plants form small colonies from underground rhizomes and have a tendency to self-seed as well.
