Symphyotrichum oblongifolium Fanny Hydrangea For over three decades(aka: Aster oblongifolius) We originally acquired this selection of the North American native Symphyotrichum oblongifolium from Montrose Gardens, which acquired it from Ruth Knopf of Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina. Ruth acquired the aster from her maid, Fanny, who acquired it as a pass along plant from her grandmother. Symphyotrichum oblongifolium 'Fanny' is one of the last asters to flower in our garden, usually in October and November.
