Aster takes its name from the Latin word meaning “star” and refers to the flower’s star like head.

Aster is a true filler flower and is frequently added to a wide variety of bouquets and floral arrangements due to their abundant flower clusters and broad range of hues. Aster flowers convey love, gracefulness, and perseverance, all characteristics of marriage, which is why they are extensively used in wedding bouquets.

Aster is a popular choice among floral designers because of the volume it produces, as well as the multiple blooms of small flowers on each stem. These flowers are often called daisy lookalikes and are striking when paired with just about any type of flower, and specially with large focal flowers such as Hydrangeas, Oriental Lilies and Super Mums.
