Aster chilensis
Description
The summer flowers make showy cheerful displays along roadsides of much of Coastal Southern California. This perennial aster will disappear (or need to be pruned to the ground) in late summer, only to reappear the next Feb.. If you plant Zauschneria Catalina along with Solidago californica (California Goldenrod) the flower bed will come alive in late summer and on through the first frosts. This plant is well liked by our native moths and butterflies as a nectar source. Use in an English style perennial garden to mix in with the larger forbs.
