It is suitable for anything from a formal garden to a natural setting. Butterflies, bumble bees and other insect pollinators will visit the flowers. Caterpillars of pearl crescent butterflies feed on the foliage. Birds eat the seeds. Protect this plant if you have hungry deer in your neighborhood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCNPS Upstate","offers":[{"title":"6\"","offer_id":52790171992351,"sku":"E-83","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/9501\/4687\/files\/jkm231010_5918.jpg?v=1787078901","url":"https:\/\/shopupstate.scnps.org\/products\/symphyotrichum-patens-late-purple-aster","provider":"SCNPS Upstate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
