Calico Aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum L. ssp?)

Asteraceae/Compositae (Aster/Composit Family)

Synonym(s): Calico Aster; One Sided Aster; White Woodland Aster; Starved Aster

Base Flower Color: Pink, Purple, White, Yellow
Reproductive Phenology: Aug, Sept, Oct
Bloom Notes: This is one of a group of closely related white, narrow-leaved asters that presumably interbreed and are difficult to distinguish. The common name refers to the fact that the heads are at first yellow and later turn purplish-red, so that flowers on one plant and even a single head may include both colors at the same time.
