{"product_id":"flat-topped-aster-pollinatehv-local-ecotype-seedling","title":"Flat-Topped Aster - PollinateHV Local Ecotype Seedling","description":"Flat-Topped Asters are workhorses of our native ecology, eagerly establishing themselves in diverse soil conditions, flowering tenaciously, and supporting pollinators such as Harris's Checkerspot and the Canada Miner Bee. These are wild-looking plants, working well as twinkly fillers at the edges of more cultivated landscapes or as robust replacements for less useful plants in weedy or scrappy areas. \n\nThis locally-sourced strain grow to a height of 4-5 feet, with straight upright central stems that spread broadly at the top to support hundreds of diminutive blooms—each with a golden center and thin white petals.\n\nThis local ecotype seed is of Hudson Valley wild origin and has been scaled for production on our farm in Accord, NY.\n\nPollinateHV is a collaboration between the Hudson Valley Seed Company and Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley in support of threatened native pollinators.\n\nWe worked with a team of expert botanists, seed collectors, nursery growers and farmers to produce local ecotype native seeds to support at-risk Hudson Valley pollinators.
