Etymology

The word 'aster' comes from the Ancient Greek word 'แผ€ฯƒฯ„ฮฎฯ' (astฤ“r), meaning 'star.' This refers to the star-like shape of the flowers. The term was adopted into Latin as 'aster,' where it also referred to various plants with star-shaped flowers. The Greek root reflects the appearance of the blooms, which radiate from a central point much like rays of light from a star. Asters have been cultivated since ancient times, and various species were gathered by early herbalists for their supposed medicinal properties. Over time, they became popular ornamental plants in European gardens, especially during the Victorian era when gardeners sought to introduce a wide variety of flowers. Today, aster species are widespread in temperate regions around the world, appreciated both for their beauty and their role in supporting local ecosystems.
