I have some stiff goldenrod doing its best, but this aster has to be my favorite native plant I have. It started blooming at the end of last month, and is now well on its way to being a giant mass of purple!
It's such a bright spot of color, and it's always busy with pollinators. It also seems to somehow double in size every year. I think it's going to need to be divided before next growing season.

This was last year’s bloom, for comparison
