What is This Plant?

RE: What is This Plant? By Darlene (Guest Post) Strawflower-- They are very hardy and I have them in my garden even after many frosts they still survive. They close up at night and reopen the next light of day. Posted on 02/01/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is This Plant?

(Guest Post) It looks like an aster. I have a purple aster in my backyard. It's Native to this area - so it will grow anywhere. The flowers on my plant look nothing like the asters I buy from nurserys - it makes me think it's a different variety. It's very hardy - you should be able to move this from the edge of your walkway to a more suitable location. It sure is pretty! Posted on 01/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is This Plant?
