Georgia Native Plant Society Smooth blue aster (Symphyotrichum laeve) has smooth leaves (not rough like many blue asters). It has a small native range in NW Georgia but is often sold at native plant sales. It works well in containers where it can grow 2-3 feet tall.

@ree43.bsky.social Today I discovered our first orb weaver! We have been working to bring native plants to our yard for years. And today we received this beautiful reward. Catching all the bugs 💙
