Question
Here's an aster (Symphyotrichum). It's about 3' tall, no basal foliage to speak of. The smooth foliage is stemless but doesn't clasp the stem. The white rays are about 3/8" long. Earlier in the month the rays were more toward pale, pale lavender. What do you think it might be?
Answer
Dear JuliaB, good morning. As best I can tell, it is likely Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (lance-leaved American-aster), a common, native species that can occupy a wide variety of open habitats. Best wishes.
