The plant thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and can often be found at high altitudes, where it adapts to harsh weather conditions.
This species is important for local ecosystems, providing nectar for pollinators like bees and butterflies. The alpine aster is also used in gardens for its ornamental value, adding color to rock gardens and alpine landscapes. Its resilience makes it a popular choice for gardeners interested in low-maintenance plants.
