Symphyotrichum comprises approximately 90 species of annuals, biennials, and perennials, primarily found throughout the Americas, and were previously classified under the genus Aster. The foliage is generally simple, lanceolate, and entire. However, the primary appeal of these plants lies in their daisy-like flower heads, featuring central disc florets that are usually yellow, encircled by strap-shaped ray florets that can appear in pink, blue, purple, or white hues.
