Aster tripolium is a plant of northern Europe which is confined in its distribution to saltmarshes, estuaries and occasionally to inland salt works.
It is a perennial growing up to 50 cm tall with fleshy lanceolate leaves and purple ray florets flowering from July to September. The plants tend to be short-lived and populations need significant new recruitment each year from new seedlings.
