Discover the enchanting beauty of Aster novae-angliae, or New England Aster, as it blooms in various landscapes. In this captivating scene, a White-lined Sphinx Moth (Hyles lineata) gracefully rests on a vibrant Aster novae-angliae bloom, painted by the School of Giovanni Antonio Bottione in the late 18th century. Fast forward to present day, as Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) and Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) butterflies delightfully feed on the same aster flowers in a garden in Powys, Wales. The Common Carder Bumblebee (Bombus pascuorum) also joins the feast, adding to the symphony of life that surrounds this beloved herbaceous perennial. Native to Northern America, Aster novae-angliae is a suffruticose plant, perfect for borders and hedges. Its colorful autumn transformation, showcased in this autumn flower mix from Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, includes the Purple Dome variety and the yellow Moonbeam, creating a stunning display of nature's palette.
