Tall Thimbleweed, also known as Thimble-Weed
The Blue Wood Aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium) is a wildflower indigenous to the central and eastern United States. Renowned for its late summer floral displays, it flourishes in shaded areas where many other wildflowers might falter. This plant is particularly hardy, as it is not commonly affected by deer, insects, or diseases.
