Ampelaster Carolinianus
Tough native vine.
This tough native vine features deliciously fragrant, 1” spidery, lavender to pink flowers with yellow centers to add a final burst of color to your fall landscape. Also known as climbing Carolina aster, it will also attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds from October to frost. Vigorous vines with narrow grayish leaves can climb on a fence, clamber over shrubs, or be grown as a deciduous groundcover. Prune back by 1/3 when new growth appears in spring.
