The many daisy-like flowers of Aster pilosus have yellow centers that may become reddish with age. These are surrounded by many (16-35) white ray florets that may be tinged with blue or violet. The flowering stems have needle-like leaves and tend to be erect or horizontal.

Aster pilosus helps to extend the floral season, blooming for about six weeks in autumn. Its common name derives from tiny white hairs that sometimes lend its leaves a hoary appearance.

Frost Aster is aggressive, spreading by seeds and rhizomes.
