Symphyotrichum elliottii (formerly Aster elliottii) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to the southeastern United States Atlantic coastal plain where it grows in wetland areas. Commonly known as Elliott's aster, it is a perennial, herbaceous plant that may reach 6 to 20 decimeters (2 to 6+1⁄2 feet) tall. Its flowers have pink (sometimes lavender) ray florets and pale yellow, then pink, then brown disk florets. NatureServe, as of July 2021, classified S. elliottii as Apparently Secure (G4) globally, and of conservation concern in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
