Aster Flower Background & Meaning
The Aster is named for the Greek word for "star," in reference to the flower’s star-like structure. Bearing a resemblance to a daisy, this flower is associated with plenty of legends. According to Greek mythology, asters were believed to be sacred to the gods and were used in wreaths placed on altars to honor them. According to a Cherokee legend, two young girls who hid in the woods to escape feuding tribes sought the help of an elderly woman. To protect them, the woman sprinkled herbs over the children as they slept, covering them in leaves. When the girls awoke, they had been transformed into flowers—asters.
Beyond the legends, this flower holds special meaning, including patience, love, elegance, and daintiness. This symbolism makes Asters a lovely choice for bridal and baby showers, weddings, and many other celebratory events. When you buy from Blooms by the Box, you'll get premium, long-lasting quality without paying the high prices of retail florists.

One of today’s hottest wedding trends is the wildflower look with dried floral accents. This is another reason why our wholesale Asters are among our best sellers at Blooms by the Box.

Aster Flower Care
With a little patience and a little love, you'll easily be able to care for your cut asters. Our flowers are delivered fresh from the farm, and by following these simple tips, you can ensure they remain beautiful and long-lasting for days. Upon arrival, strip any foliage that will sit below the water level to prevent bacterial growth. Hold the stems underwater and cut one inch from the bottom at an angle. Keep your asters in fresh water with a mixture of flower food to ensure they remain vibrant and nourished. For the longest vase life, keep your arrangements out of direct sunlight, heat, and drafts.
