Boltonia is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae family.


Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Boltonia (James Bolton, English botanist). Compositae. False Chamomile. Four or 5 species of aster- like glabrous often glaucous herbs of the United States and eastern Asia, sometimes planted in borders and wild gardens.

They are tall and leafy plants, blooming profusely in late summer and autumn, and excellent for the hardy border. They have alternate, entire and sessile or clasping Lvs. and angled, often striate, sts. Differs from Aster in having very few pappus bristles which in Aster are numerous, and in other technical characters.

Boltonias are of easiest culture. They take care of themselves when once established. Propagation is effected by division. Should be better known to gardeners. They stand without staking.

B. canioniensis, Franch. & Sav., is native to Japan, where the young plants are used for greens.
