Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: two descriptive adjectives 'hairy' and 'golden' modify the noun 'aster', so a learner who knows those words can infer it is an aster plant with fine hairs and golden-yellow flowers. This follows a common adjective + noun pattern found across languages, making the meaning immediately predictable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Hairy golden aster gets its name from how the plant looks: aster refers to the star-like flower head, and hairy and golden describe the fine hairs and bright yellow color on the plant. So the name gives a simple image of 'a plant with yellow, star-shaped flowers and fine hairs', which helps you remember the plant.
