Symphyotrichum ‘Marie Ballard’ is a highly regarded autumn-flowering aster, valued for its masses of lavender-blue, semi-double flowers with golden centres. Flowering from late summer into autumn, it provides vital colour and structure at a time when many perennials are fading.
With its upright, well-balanced habit, this reliable perennial performs strongly in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and traditional herbaceous schemes. Long established and widely respected, ‘Marie Ballard’ remains one of the best garden asters for late-season interest, combining dependable flowering with excellent pollinator value. Pairs well with other sun-loving perennials
