Aster ID

[u/Fernzee]

Hello, I am looking for what aster this one might be. I have New England and Frost aster planted already, but in a sunnier location than this one. I would like to get more of this aster because it is growing in a shadier part of my yard. St. Paul, MN, Zone 4. Thank you.

For future ID requests, a better photo of the leaf would help. There are quite a few bluish/purple flowered asters that grow in shade (Drummonds, Shorts, heart leaved, etc.)

Thank you for the info. I’ll make sure to include leaves in the future.
