Description
Aster is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Its circumscription has been narrowed, and it now encompasses around 180 species, all but one of which are restricted to Eurasia. The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word á¼â¬ÃÆÃâîàastá¸âr, meaning `star`, referring to the shape of the flower head. Aster species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species. Asters can grow in all hardiness zones.
